Simply put, Joe Louis Walker is one of the greatest bluesmen of his generation. He is known worldwide as one of the genre's top musical trailblazersa mesmerizing guitarist and soul-testifying vocalist.

In 2013, the Blues Foundation inducted the award-winning blues master into The Blues Hall Of Fame. Joining the ranks of previous inductees including B.B. King, Hound Dog Taylor, Koko Taylor, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Etta James, Howlin' Wolf and other blues greats while still at the peak of his musical powers, is, as Walker says, "a dream come true."

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."
