this is an excellent blues cd, acoustic guitar, bass , drums, i like all the songs and can't wait to hear his new cd.

I liked all all the songs but two. The other songs were tunes that I can listen to over and over again. This CD carries on where #13 left off. I cant wait for a third CD.

YEAH! Walker has managed to get all of his gruff, growly, huge, testifyin' mad-mojo country-blues guitar preachin' stuffed onto a little shiny disc. Hail patience & technology, I knew he's do it if we waited long enough. This sepia-toned CD is really an amazing work of art. It's got all the intense energy of a live Walker show AND the clarity to really hear and understand the heartfelt delivery of the words and the amazing interplay of sounds he can get out of just one old Gibson guitar with no fancy electronic tweakery. Several tunes also feature his Delta Mystics band, and these guys just KILL! especially on the Fred McDowell tune "Write Me a Few of Your Lines" the groove is just relentless and ecstatic. Walker has the soul of and Irish storyteller with a bluesman's musical vocabulary, never failing to acknowledge and honor the African roots of the blues in his shows, while explaining the contibutions of immigrants and po' whites, crazies and characters off all colors. Hence the fitting title "Underdog-American Music. His familiar-feeling yet inventively original songs speak of huge truths in the language of the working people, with words that fit around real and sometimes raw feelings, not cleverly constructs from a rhyming dictionary. Never Forget (The River Song '04) is sung in the voice of a broken Vietnam veteran, now watching his own child return with "her leg shot off" in the latest war...Bone-chilling. Walker never preaches. He tells stories and lets us see the truth with our own eyes. It sticks deeper that way.

It's a 4. Thank God I taught him everything he knows about playing the guitar -- now I don't have to do it! SSupberb player -- great singer -- astounding song selections! Keep up the fine work! Mike Metzger
