Anybody else love the opening instrumental chorus of "Just Your Fool". Great acoustic harp by Little Walter on that song. Learning that one so I can do something similar on march tunes.

To me, that tune really showed how much he was influenced by Rice Miller.

Thought I would swoop in and post something just to blow some minds <g>
This is indeed a fantastic intro.
A couple of noteworthly covers are Carlos del Junco's title track from his "Just Your Fool" CD (a must-have), and a recent and fun one from, of all people, Cindy Lauper, with Charlie Musselwhite (CD is "Memphis Blues" from 2010).
I have a Billy Branch version I am partial to also. Did LW record a cupped-mic electric version?

Dean!! Great to hear from you. Get on here and post some harp music!
I like the Del Junco version of Just Your Fool a lot. Haven't heard Cindy Lauper's version yet. Will check it out. I haven't heard an amped version of LW on this song.
I just loaded the Chess Muddy Waters "His Best" songs on a memory card for my car stereo. Forgot how good the remastered sound quality is. LWs acoustic harp sounds beautiful on Louisiana Blues and Honey Bee. I think I'll learn those intros too.
Here's the Muddy album I was listening to on rdio (free listening):

Listening to the Cindy Lauper version now. Very cool. Musselwhite does his own thing very different from from LW.
Love Cindy's line, "Gonna call Jackie Chan and kung fu you."
