FP-1975-7RR-0144 features a Chicago urban blues band: Big Walter Horton and his Blues Band: Big Walter Horton (vocals and harmonica), Richard Molina on bass, S. P. Levy on drums, and Johnny Shines (vocals and electric guitar). (Johnny Shines is listed separately in the official Program, so perhaps he is simply playing with Big Walter and not really part of his group. Big Walter engages in some showmanship, demonstrating that he can play two harmonicas at once, and playing through his nose. Not particularly well-recorded.

FP-1975-7RR-0145 begins with a continuation of the urban blues, featuring Johnny Shines. The tape continues with a Haitian group, which performs some vocal numbers featuring a female soloist, a choral backup, and much percussion. Sometimes the singing has a call-and-response pattern. The percussion, while primarily drumming, includes some metallic clanging and a quiet hooting instrument. The language may be a French patois. The group includes many dancers as well, so, possibly, the music on this tape is accompanying dancing, although there is no indication of that on the tape.
