 T-Bone Walker CD Review
Disc one begins with Walker's first session, in 1929, as Oak Cliff T-Bone, and while "Trinity River Blues" and "Wichita Falls Blues" are in the Leroy Carr/Scrapper Blackwell mode, the distinct voice is clear and easily recognized over his acoustic guitar and some fine piano.
In a career that spanned over five decades, Walker is most remembered for "Stormy Monday," which is here along with the blistering "Hypin' Woman Blues," featuring humorous lyrics and Willard McDaniel's potent abilities at the piano, but it's the dexterity of T-Bone that speaks most frequently.
A close friend of the Walker family in the 1920's was none other than the celebrated Blind Lemon Jefferson, a powerful and highly popular Texan who was startling his own crowds with deft finger skills on the guitar and making strong selling 78's for the Paramount label.

While definitely blues, there's more difference between this and the acoustic blues that predated Walker than amplification can account for; there's jazz and swing mixed in as well, as on tracks like "I Walked Away" and "Strollin' with Bone," and something of that feel has remained in electric blues ever since.
From B.B. King to Buddy Guy to Stevie Ray Vaughan and beyond, Walker's influence is felt in the blues up through the present day.
