With a career of almost forty years, Wily Bo Walker is one of the few British artists who has been inducted to the Blues Hall Of Fame in United States Possibly this has been possible due to his huge experience, that has allowed him to cleverly investigate the many roads of blues, soul, gospel, rhythm and blues, jazz, rock, Americana and even more alternative sounds In addition to a remarkable composer and songwriter, Wily performs his songs with a deep low voice and an outstanding charisma, which becomes the distinctive stamp of his own personal brand Besides his own group, the album also gathers other good references of American music such as The Brown Sisters Of Chicago Gospel Choir or a superb band like The Danny Flam & Friends With this album Wily Boo Walker confirms his terrific versatility, that becomes evident along a wide selection of songs, ranging from genuine Chicago blues to British blues, slow blues and Americana ballads, magical and hypnotic voodoo music, Caribbean rhythms and he even dares with songs inspired in Tony Joe White, Joe Cooker or Tom Waits
