	Joe Louis Walker - Blue Thumb Records
		Walker was playing guitar at age 14, and was proficient enough to open for the legendary Mississippi Fred McDowell, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Lightnin' Hopkins at the Matrix, a San Francisco blues bar, only a few years later.
		Walker returned in 1994 with the sizzling JLW, marking his first recorded collaboration with harmonica master James Cotton (whose presence also distinguishes Silvertone Blues; Joe returned the favor by guesting on the harp great's Grammy®-winning 1996 Verve album Deep in the Blues).
		Walker was no stranger to this sort of duet format, having guested on B.B. King's Grammy®-winning 1993 MCA Records extravaganza Blues Summit (where they teamed on an incendiary "Everybody's Had The Blues" to close the disc) and on B.B.'s live release How Blue Can You Get.

		Joe was in great voice but there were problems with the PA, so Joe and Levi played a whole lot of great guitar.
		Joe was clearly moved by the energy and started having a good time despite the tech problems with the PA. This was the Joe Louis Walker I love and respect.
		Joe told them "Turn the PA all the way up, and the treble too, and we'll go from there." After that the PA worked well enough for singing, slight buzz be damned.

	Joe Louis Walker / Great Guitars
		Throughout the album, Joe Louis Walker is accompanied in turn by Little Charlie Baty, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Steve Cropper, Otis Grand, Robert Lockwood Jr., Taj Mahal, Scotty Moore, Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Otis Rush, Ike Turner and Bonnie Raitt, but remains careful to never be obscured by his guest's talent.
		Yet, "Great Guitars" is to be considered as a "regular" Joe Louis Walker album, each song of which was recorded with a deluxe backup band.
		Joe Louis Walker's Great Guitars does not quite meet expectations; as is so often the case with superstar guest-laden collaborations, the concept sounds better than the final product does; still, it has its moments.

	Joe Louis Walker - Biography and Recommendations
		One of the 'younger generation' of players (although in Blues, the younger generation are often well into their 40s, 50s and beyond) Walker was born in San Francisco, California.
		He doesn't play to impress unnecessarily (no 100mph solos) which means he hasn't fallen into any rock star posturing and this makes all his recorded work a pleasure to hear.
		Walker's restraint on this CD divided opinion and apparently reminds many blues fans of the glossy filler of Robert Cray rather than the gritty business of an Otis Rush or T-Bone Walker, all considered influences on Walker's style.

	In Music We Trust - Joe Louis Walker: She's My Money Maker
		By: Mark A. Lawrence the IV When Joe Louis Walker sits down to make a slide guitar album, he doesn't mess around.
		Walker mostly presents his powerhouse style of driving blues, but dose allow for some change of musical moods with the toned down gospel of " My Judgment Day" and the peppy sway of "Eight Years of Loving." Walker also provides an amazing instrumental in "Hooker Blues" whose guitar is matched by Geno Blacknell Jr.
		His vocals are a medium-grade sandpaper-rough that contrasts the high whine of the slide guitar and provides an Umph to the songs that is pure blues man attitude.

		The brand of blues that San Franciscan Joe Louis Walker serves up on In the Morning is fine Memphis barbecue, a tangy mix of everything from Stax/Volt, Atlantic, Muscle Shoals hot sauce soul to hot and humid Clarksdale, Mississippi mud pie.
		Walker's band, lead by former Saturday Night Live band leader G.E. Smith, is the sharp sauce, providing a sound base from which Walker add his vocal and guitar spice.
		Throughout, the piquant of the music is Walker's gutsy guitar, never so slick to annoy or bore and always revelatory and compellingas it the entire disc.

		The last time I reviewed a Joe Louis Walker album I stated that, if 2003 had been proclaimed the year of the blues, then 2002 was the year of Joe Louis Walker because of the three very diverse from one another releases within the year.
		As he does on all of his recordings, Walker taps into his gospel roots with the almost acoustic sounding "My Judgment Day." Notice I said "almost" acoustic sounding because the guitar work here is electric but toned down to sound acoustic as the backdrop to Walker's soulful testifying lyrics.
		Since completing a long-term recording contract Joe Louis Walker has become a musical free agent which has allowed his creativity to endlessly flow in whatever direction it has taken him and then found the right label to fit the results.
