- FP-1975-7RR-0144 features a Chicago urban blues band: Big Walter Horton and his Blues Band: Big Walter Horton (vocals and harmonica), Richard Molina on bass, S. P. Levy on drums, and Johnny Shines (vocals and electric guitar). (Johnny Shines is listed separately in the official Program, so perhaps he is simply playing with Big Walter and not really part of his group. Big Walter engages in some showmanship, demonstrating that he can play two harmonicas at once, and playing through his nose. Not particularly well-recorded.
