His two Blind Pig recordings, Fine Cuts and Can't Keep Loving Her are my 
favorites. If I had to choose between the two I would have to go with 
Can't Keep Loving Her, but both are essential Chicago blues harp albums. 
Mouth Harp Maestro is a great collection of early tracks by "Mumbles" 
Horton. He sounds a lot like Sonny Boy II on that one.
