		Wilson had a rented room and lived the hippie existence, getting his harmonica chops together by playing with traveling blues musicians like Eddie Taylor.

		Kim seemed to put more effort in the feel and the soul of this record instead of focusing on the nerdy aspects of sound and perfecting his vocals.
		Kim Wilson is among the finest harp players of all times and his playing on this disc is exceptional.
		Wilson's limited vocal range is a definite draw back to this CD and one that narrows considerably the creative envelope in which his band plays.

	George Graham Reviews Kim Wilson's "Smokin' Joint"
		Though his parents were musical, and Wilson took up trombone and guitar lessons, it was not until his high school senior year that Kim Wilson discovered the blues, and was soon applying himself to the harmonica.
		Though Wilson is known for his -- as the bluesmen say -- "harp" playing, there are some tracks on the CD on which he is just heard singing, and there are also instrumentals on which Wilson's harmonica takes center stage.
		WIlson, who is generally on the road for about 200 nights a year, is in fine form on both of the gigs represented on this CD.

	CD review: "High Water"
		Besides, the album ultimately ought to be judged on its artistic merits, and there Wilson scores highly – except, perhaps, for the purists.
		Which isn't to say Wilson is genius – but "High Water" is his most experimental project, and more works than not regardless of the critics.
		Wilson's harmonica playing is as good as ever; he was never one of the best, never on a plane with a James Cotton or Rod Piazza, but he's a nice, distinctive sound and his solos are generally tasteful.

		Weekend Edition Saturday, June 21, 2003 · For nearly three decades, Kim Wilson has been the voice and soul of the Texas band The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
		His parents both sang popular standards on the radio, and he studied the trombone and guitar as a youngster before discovering the blues while a senior in high school.
		Although Wilson has often been compared to legendary harmonica player Little Walter, he calls the analogy "sacrilegious." He says his biggest influence was Muddy Waters, whom he befriended after moving to Austin.

		Back in the 1980s, Kim Wilson was merely one member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, a quartet that was as much a showcase for its never-waste-a-note guitarist Jimmie Vaughan as it was for its lead singer and harmonica player.
		But the rest of the T-Birds exited during the early '90s, and now the T-Birds are Wilson and anyone he hires for a particular album or tour.
		Kim Wilson stays very busy on the road theses days, alternating tours as frontman for The Fabulous Thunderbirds and occasionally hitting the clubs with his Blues Review.

	Kim Wilson CD Review
		Kim Wilson is at the point in his career where he can be depended on for solid work each time a new CD is released, whether under his own name, or as the last original member of The Fablulous Thunderbirds.
		With nine of the fifteen tracks either written or co-written by Kim, it's certainly his most personal recording to date and proves his unquestionable talents as one of the finest harp players, singers, and songwriters in modern blues.
		While there are plenty of harmonica players still earning their stripes around the world, Kim Wilson remains as one of the best and his backing band can always be counted on for stellar and highly rhythmic support.

		The jump blues really romp, whether they be instrumentals, novelties, or low-down blues, Wilson's harmonica solos are excellent, and his singing is quite expressive.
		Since the last Fabulous Thunderbirds album didn't feature any of the current band members except founder Kim Wilson, one may fairly ask what the difference is these days between a T-Birds record and a Wilson solo disc.
		The answer, at least on the basis of this one, seems to be that, while the T-Birds sessions find Wilson coming up with mostly original material in a blues-rock mode, his solo work consists mostly of covers in a straight electric blues mode.

		Though he's best known as the frontman for the blues-rocking Fabulous Thunderbirds, singer/harmonica player Kim Wilson has quietly carved out a career for himself as one of the most authentic-sounding blues players of the 21st century.
		Wilson is obviously well-schooled in the blues, and dips into the catalog of Chicago blues godfather Willie Dixon with aplomb on "Love My Baby," but he's equally capable of crafting original songs that honor the spirit of post-war electric blues without coming off as self-consciously nostalgic.
		Wilson's soulful voice is emotive but never histrionic, and his down-and-dirty harp work lends an agreeable portion of grit and grease to LOOKIN' FOR TROUBLE.
