Muddy Waters (featuring Little Walter): Don't Go No Farther

"Well, it's certainly ONE of the greatest harmonica solos...For anyone interested, this is in the key of E flat and Little Walter is playing a Hohner 64 Chromonica, using the slide/button to achieve the unique phrases he plays here.
That guy was something."
