Review

Record Collector (magazine) (p.86) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "This magnificent retrospective spreads 126 tracks across five CDs and re-affirms why Little Walter has a special place in the blues pantheon. Sound-wise, he was undoubtedly a pioneer."

Title Note

This definitive five-disc collection brings together all of the sessions Little Walter recorded for Chess Records between 1950 and 1967. By 1950, Little Walter had already established himself for his incendiary work with Muddy Waters's electric band and his progressive approach to blues harmonica. His recordings as a solo artist for Chess allowed him to stretch out, giving full range to his genius.

MASTERS serves as a retrospective of Little Walter's career during the golden age of Chicago blues, and while his `60s material is uneven, the glorious stream of his `50s classics makes the set a treasure trove. Walter's defining cuts, including "Juke," "Mean Old World," and "My Babe," are here, of course, but what impresses is the consistency of the intensity, passion, and musicianship well into the early `60s, and the fiery playing from Walter and the session musicians that helped shape Chicago's classic blues sound.
