JOE LOUIS WALKER * TOUR 2015 *
JOE LOUIS WALKER Inicia en Abril su TOUR, de presentación de su último trabajo discográfico que le traerá a nuestro Pais : SAN JAVIER BLUES FESTIVAL 31 de Julio de 2015 , aquí os dejamos la reseña de su casa discográfica ALLIGATOR Records.
Blues Hall Of Fame member, world-class guitarist, passionate vocalist and gifted songwriter Joe Louis Walker , touring in support of his latest Alligator Records album, Hornet's Nest, will perform at Puck in Doylestown on Friday, April 3, 2015.
Walker is among the greatest bluesmen of his generation, and is known worldwide as one of the genre's top musical trailblazers -- a mesmerizing guitarist and soul-testifying vocalist. The New York Times raves, "Walker is a singer with a Cadillac of a voice. He delivers no-nonsense, gutsy blues. His guitar solos are fast, wiry and incisive, moaning with bluesy despair." Rolling Stone simply calls him "ferocious." On his dynamic CD, Hornet's Nest, Walker's music is equal parts rock 'n' roll fire and blistering blues.
Hornet's Nest was recorded in Nashville and produced by songwriter/drummer Tom Hambridge, producer of James Cotton's Grammy-nominated Cotton Mouth Man, Buddy Guy's recent Grammy-winning CDs and Walker's previous CD, Hellfire. Hornet's Nest -- featuring twelve songs, including nine new originals -- blends Walker's boundless energy and his myriad influences into a contemporary blues tour-de-force. His always-inventive guitar playing is matched note-for-note by his fervent vocals. From menacing, hard-rocking electric blues to cool Memphis funk to R&B rave-ups to Sunday morning gospel, Walker's blues -- fierce and untamed, adventurous and fun -- continue to define the genre.
His Alligator debut, Hellfire, took the blues world by storm in 2012, receiving the Living Blues Critics' Award for Blues Album Of The Year. The Chicago Tribune said, "His playing is ferocious. His solos spin wilder and wilder with the kind of fierce embellishments that Jimi Hendrix might've conjured." The success of the album helped land Walker and his band on TBS's CONAN.
With each subsequent release, Walker's audience continues to grow, as his touring schedule continues to expand. He's played all over the U.S. and Canada, major European festivals including The North Sea Jazz Festival, Glastonbury, Notodden and Montreux, as well as festivals in Japan, Australia, Taiwan, Ireland, Turkey and Brazil. Now, with Hornet's Nest, Walker is excited about bringing even more people to his music. "Blues is a big tent," he says, "morphing into a bigger tent. Young folks like good blues when they hear it, and I'm here to make sure they want to listen."
