Another tune with a strong hook by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. The hook is presented below, but harp players don't commonly play the entire hook, just the last two notes (same pattern as the common Charleston rhythm, but with straight eighths for this rock beat).

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band's version of "Walkin’ Blues" provides another rock beat/straight eighth groove with a strong hook. Here's the hook on the harp...
I7 = 2 2 2 2 2" or 6+ 6+ 6+ 6+ 5 or Same with Octaves
IV7 = 4+ 4+ 4+ 4+ 3'
V7 = 4 4 4 4 4+ (it's common for players to improvise from Bar 9 onward)
