Little Walter did this cover of the Willie Dixon classic in the same year that rock and roll can be said to have broken onto the musical scene. Little Walter was an innovative blues harmonica player and "My Babe" shows his talent off with the instrument to the full. Listen closely and you will hear the distortion for which he was famous. The song itself is simple enough. A standard blues melody in twelve bar. But it is that harmonica which stands out. The song has since been covered by dozens of artists as diverse as Cliff Richard and Ike and Tina Turner and featured in the Broadway musical " Million Dollar Quartet ".
Rating: 7/10
