They've filmed a music vid for it, once it's released I'll share it but here's one from 12 months ago before he joined them. Actually looks quite professional.

Little Walter (Marion Walter Jacobs) turned playing the harmonica into a virtuoso activity and played on some of the most important recordings in the blues canon. It's hard to think of a man who casts a longer shadow over the art of performance on his instrument.
Here's a couple of his recordings under his own name:
These are all on a 5 CD set called "Little Walter: The Complete Chess Masters". (Which I am listening to, now).
Farkkk... I must be getting old, I enjoyed those! Especially My Babe
"My Babe" is one of the best-crafted pieces of pop music ever made, isn't it? Walter's solo is one of the great moments in the history of music - a marvel of economy and perfection - Junior Lockwood's guitar is so clever and Willie Dixon's bass makes the whole thing dance.
For those who care about such things, Walter is backed here by Otis Spann (who, for me, ranks second in the pantheon of Great Pianists of the 20th Century, behind Jorge Bolet), Luther Tucker and Freddie Robinson (guitars), Willie Dixon and Bill Stepney (drums).
Whether I want to or not there seems to be a proponsity to play Maroon 5 and Ed Sheeran in the bars here. Lemmy would have head butted the plagiarists.

Perhaps they'll let her play the middle of something, soon?
wow, thats so not my thing, but that is really something amazing, bloody incredible
Maybe this will be, TP - two of the most beautiful voices that were ever committed to record, here laying down the definitive version of one of humanity's greatest treasures, "Au fond du temple saint" from Bizet's The Pearl Fishers.
If anyone wants to hear more of this, Nimbus Records put out a CD a few years back entitled "Merrill and Bjorling: Operatic Arias and Duets". It goes for 78 minutes, is incredibly well remastered contains many highlights. I bought the CD new, recently for about $11 - it arrived in yesterday's mail and I have been listening in awe to track after track of remarkable signing.

(with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones and Art Davis playing the second double bass on this track)
On a side-note, I have always thought that the Ike Quebec recording of Nature Boy was what Jennifer Warnes was channelling on her recording of "Famous Blue Raincoat" (although piano and strings is added, because that's what we did in the 80s):
