2:42
single, 1954
Written by Little Walter
Unfortunately, I'm confused on this one. This track, the one I'm talking about here, is a slow, languid "baby gone and left me" blues song with Little Walter's signature harmonica sound and plaintive, hollow vocals. It has a 2:42 run time, and I believe this is the original 1954 hit. However, there's another "Last Night" by the same artist on Spotify, with a similar premise but quite different lyrics, more expressive vocals, and —possibly tellingly—no harmonica. It has a run time of 2:54 and contains the line, "blues with a feeling," but is not that song either. The original version is superior to what I assume is a later take.
