His version of "Boom Boom Out Go The Lights" will make your skin creep.

Great record. Now that the picture of the Checker 45 got you this far; Here's a cleaner, less compressed dub so you can hear what the take really sounded like.

His finest hour for me is the song Fleetwood Mac by Fleetwood Mac.

You've never heard it? Treat yourself to the 2-CD set "The Essential LIttle Walter," MCA/Chess CHD2-9342. (I never understood why they buried this great track as #20 on disc 2.) It also includes "It's Too Late Brother;" I always liked its lyric, "[I was] told you packin' .45, you had better quit that jive."

I'm more of a Sonny Boy man myself; get the 2-CD set "The Essential Sonny Boy Williamson," MCA/Chess CHD2-9343, while you're at it. Enjoy.
