Joe Louis Walker & The Bosstalkers - In Concert (2003)

When Joe Louis Walker exploded onto the blues scene in the late 1980’s, he was hailed as a breath of fresh air. He enlivened a somewhat stagnating scene with his energetic, emotional, original approach to combining hard-core electric blues with elements of soul and gospel. This 1991 live-performance DVD, from the German concert t.v. series “Ohne Filter”, captures him and his equally energetic band, the Bosstalkers, at their early peak.

Joe Louis Walker & the Bosstalkers are resolutely taking their blues into the future. Their music is rough and honest, but nevertheless open for new influences. Their combination of Chicago blues, Memphis soul, Westcoast rock, Cajun from the Delta and gospel is a hot mixture. In the sixties the blues man Walker jammed with Steve Miller, Jimi Hendrix, Grateful Dead and Lightnin' Hopkins and supported John Lee Hooker on stage. Today Walker himself is one of the great musicians of this genre.
