About Blues With a Feeling

"Blues with a Feeling" is a blues song written and first recorded by Rabon Tarrant with Jack McVea and His All Stars in 1947, as the B-side of "Slowly Goin' Crazy Blues". Although the original release was commercially unsuccessful, the song later became an important hit for Little Walter, with whom it is usually identified. Walter transformed the tune from Tarrant's jump blues-oriented style to a Chicago blues harmonica classic. It became an important piece for blues harp players and a variety of musicians have recorded their own renditions.  more »

Blues with a feelin'
That's what I have today
Blues with a feelin'
That's what I have today
I'm gonna find my baby
If it takes all night and day

What a lonesome feelin'
When your by yourself
What a lonesome feelin'
When your by yourself
When the one that you're lovin'
Have gone away livin'

Girl you know I love you baby
I wanted the reason why
You only left me baby
Then you left me here to cry
Blues with a feelin'
That's what I have today
I'm gonna find my baby
If it takes all night and day

Little Walter

Little Walter, born Marion Walter Jacobs (May 1, 1930 – February 15, 1968), was an American blues harmonica player, whose revolutionary approach to his instrument has earned him comparisons to Charlie Parker and Jimi Hendrix, for innovation and impact on succeeding generations. His virtuosity and musical innovations fundamentally altered many listeners' expectations of what was possible on blues harmonica. Little Walter was inducted to the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008 in the "sideman" category making him the first and only artist ever to be inducted specifically for his work as a harmonica player. more »
