Big Walter Horton or Walter "Shakey" Horton (April 6, 1921– December 8, 1981) was an American blues harmonica player. Born Walter Horton in Horn Lake, Mississippi, USA he was playing a harmonica by the time he was five years old. In his early teens, he lived in Memphis, Tennessee and claimed that his earliest recordings were done there in the late 1920s with the Memphis Jug Band, although there is no documentation, and many have since disputed this claim. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Big+
