December 9, 2024 Records of the Day

Among the Blues artists that came out of Chicago after World War ll was Little Walter, a one-time band member with Muddy Waters. In 1952, he hit big with “Juke,” which led to the formation of his own band. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, Little Walter’s temper led to his downfall and death from a head injury. The “Juke” 45, released on Checker Records, is worth up to $200.00. In 1957, Chess Records issued the album, “The Best of Little Walter.” An original copy can sell for $1,000.00 today.
