    @WallyKatz: Wally, Joe’s early stuff on the High Tone label is till his best, IMO. "Cold is the Night" is a fabulous album and his others from that time aren’t far off that mark. He was young, hungry, and looking to make his mark – and his playing reflects that. The Bosstalkers were fabulous, too – very tight and tasty. Joe’s performing has never been less than stellar, but I miss Bruce Bromberg’s steady production hand.

    JWL is the real deal… I’ve been a big fan of his since the 1980s when his first LPs on High Tone came out. Been fortunate enough to see him live, too… He’s on my short list of the very best modern blues performers. Love how he can get down and dirty with slide guitar, and even do some old acoustic blues-style numbers when the mood strikes him. Joe, please come back to Chicago on tour!

    I used to have this on video. It is from the east coast blues festival Australia. My video is too old to play – breaks my heart. Thank you for posting. The same festival featured Roy rogers and Norton Buffalo. Go Joe – what a player. Deeeeeeep !!!

    In the 80’s, Robert Cray, Joe Louis Walker and Lucky Peterson were said to be the greatest hopefuls in blues.
    And Joe was the bluesiest and the least contaminated with rock. He still is one of the few bluesmen who can play truly
    blues-sounding blues.

    It’s on JLW’s Hightone album, ‘The Gift’.

    OMG, I love the blues so much but work so hard that I seldom have time to indulge. Tonight is rare. 777User was 1 month ago. This music should be a must. wallykatz
