Blues News: Joe Louis Walker (EOH in 2013 and 2011) has a new 2014 Alligator Records release Hornet’s Nest. Hornet’s Nest — featuring 12 songs, including nine new originals — blends Walker’s boundless energy and his myriad influences into a contemporary blues tour-de-force. His always-inventive guitar playing is matched note-for-note by his fervent vocals. From menacing, hard rocking electric blues to cool Memphis funk to R&B rave-ups to Sunday morning gospel, Walker’s blues-fierce and untamed, adventurous and fun - continue to define the genre. JLW on being inducteed into The Blues Hall Of Fame; I am honored to be in the company of the great artists already inducted. Its a dream come true. So many of the other inductees were not alive to appreciate the recognition. I hope to live up to the honor. - Joe Louis Walker https://youtube/watch?v=5o1n4we4Jr4
