Here comes a refreshing axciting actual recording by one of the most genuine postwar Texas guitar sound Phillip Walker can be considered as one of the mainstays and the splitting image of Lowell Fulson and Pee Wee Crayton’s tradition In this cd he gives us a powerful work, essential for all blues lovers of that particular style Walker plays with a lot of feeling, showing a remarkable guitar and vocal commitment along this excellent live recording All musicians who back him play an accurate selection of jump, r&b or Texas-shuflle with the deep emotional Texas swing feeling and they do it at a very high level The horn section gives a very teamed sound with a special mention to saxo and trumpet solos Besides, you will also find some exceptional guest musicians too Rick Estrin, Angela Strehil and Charlie Musselwhie… Can we ask for more?
