Little Boy Blue is the title of an album released on England's JSP Records
in the late '70s. I suspect that this is what's on the tape. It was a
recording of a pretty good live gig that BW did over there backed by
guitarist Ronnie Earl and his band of the time.

It's probably the worst thing available with Big Walter's name on it, which
is not to say that it's totally worthless, just that you should only buy it
if you already have EVERYTHING else BW ever recorded, and you want to
complete your collection. The band (Hot Cottage was their name I think) was
a plodding rock band with very little feel for what it was that BW did.
Very little feel for blues in general, really. Or music, for that matter.
