Independent music at its best.  Toby Walker is a true, unsung acoustic blues master.  He does it all here: swing, boogie woogie, a couple of very sexy slow blues, and some beautiful slide work.  He's not only a top-rung guitar player, he's a rich and emotional blues vocalist.  Some of the songs are from the masters like Willie Dixon and Big Bill Broonzy, others are his arrangements of traditional songs, but six are original tunes many of which show off not only his playing but some hilarious lyrics full of innuendo.  An acoustic blues guitar must!

Don't know how this guy does it, but WOW!   I don't know how these tunes didn't get released before, but I'm glad they are now!  Searing guitar work,  haunting vocals, and an energy level you can fry eggs with.   This is a must CD for anyone who appreciates incredible guitar work.  
Toby Walker makes the blues seem fresh again. Thanks, Toby!
