That would be a long wait - there is only one OMD song on the playlist.  Are those really the only two options - classic blues or Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark?  Anyhow, cool tune. 

 
Brilliant tune! This guy had a great, great voice—he could have made it just on the strength of his pipes. But also an astonishing harmonica player. 

One OMD tune on RP?!? "We Love You" from Pacific Age. Weak track on a so-so album. WTF, Bill.

I don't get how this can have an average rating of any less than nine.  Listeners waiting around for an OMD track maybe?  :)

Good movie, indeed. Beyonce was quite surprising to this viewer.

Bless you, Bill, for playing Little Walter!

If I may humbly suggest a follow-up song:"Little Walter Rides Again", by Medeski, Scofield, Martin, and Wood.

Good times! {#Cheers}

No Willie Dixon in the RP library!
 

Actually not such a great loss. Dixon was a masterful bass player, arranger, songwriter and producer, but he was a so-so performer. The rest of the Chess roster tooks his songs and made classics of them; his own versions are kinda blah. I'd rather hear Koko Taylor sing "Wang Dang Doodle" any day rather than the song's own writer, for instance. The other singers aren't "covering" Dixon, either; he wrote these songs and produced them and played on them for these other artists; these are the "original versions" and Dixon's own later versions just afterthoughts.

Wiki Little Walter (born Marion Walter Jacobs in Marksville, LA, and raised in Alexandria, LA) (May 1, 1930 - February 15, 1968) was a blues singer, harmonica player, and guitarist. Jacobs is generally included among blues music greats: his revolutionary harmonica technique has earned comparisons to Charlie Parker and Jimi Hendrix in its impact: There were great musicians before and after, but Jacobs' virtuosity and musical innovations reached heights of expression never previously imagined, and fundamentally altered many listeners' expectations of what was possible on blues harmonica. His body of work earned Little Walter a spot in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the sideman category on March 10, 2008<4>, making him the only artist so honored specifically for his work as a harmonica player.

Little Walter and Willie Dixon. One of the best matchups in the history of music. I have this album in my ipod rotation and there are some great tracks! Also, if you are interested in Little Walter's work, you should check out the guy that wrote this song, Willie Dixon. They recently came out with a box set of Willie Dixon penned songs that include artists such as Howlin' Wolf, Koko Taylor, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and other blues greats.

Very, very cool.

THIS is the reason I listen to Radio Paradise. Never heard this guy even before even though I grew up listening to a lot of harmonica.

Unbelievable, isn't it? Can't they (whoever they are) at least give a 2. Little Walter is credited with inventing this harp style. Give some credit please when it is due!
