The story behind

The song Juke is an instrumental piece that stands out for its masterful use of the harmonica, performed by Little Walter in 1952. This track not only marked a milestone in his career but also became a blues standard for harmonica players. Recorded in a session with Muddy Waters' band, Juke was the first song to be recorded during that day, a curious fact since many believe it was recorded at the end. The session took place at Universal Recorders studio in Chicago, where recording engineer Bill Putnam captured the raw and vibrant essence of the era's sound.
