GRAMMY� Award Nominated, Blues Hall of Famer, 6x-BMA Winner & 55x-BMA Nominated Guitarist, Singer & Songwriter JOE LOUIS WALKER is one of the living legends of Blues Music. In 2016, Walker was Nominated for a GRAMMY� Award for "Best Contemporary Blues Album" ('Everybody Wants A Piece'). Walker has been Nominated for "Contemporary Blues Male Artist of the Year" at the Blues Music Awards a stunning 18 times, having won the award 3 times (1988, 1991, 2016); he has been Nominated for "Blues Guitar Player of the Year" 10 times; and he has been Nominated for "Contemporary Blues Album of the Year" an incredible 11 times! Walker's most recent critically acclaimed album, 'Weight of the World', was released February 2023 to rave reviews. "One listen to this incisive treatise and you'll agree with jazz great Herbie Hancock who calls Joe Louis Walker a national treasure. This just might be his best album ever - and that's saying something!" raves BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE.
"Powerful, soul-stirring...a legendary boundary-pushing icon of modern blues," says NPR MUSIC. "Walker's guitar playing is fine and fierce," states BILLBOARD. "It's a compelling album that displays a master at the height of his game. They say Roots musicians age like fine wine, which certainly rings true with Walker. 'Weight of the World' is a resounding statement and quite possibly the beginning of the most remarkable chapter of a storied career," claims BLUES ROCK REVIEW (Review of 'Weight of the World').

by esiode on 7/4/10B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New Yorkthe 3 bands were excellent.....but 1)according to me the level of the sound was too strong. 2) It seemed to me that ,some times, the sound of the musicians of Janiva was stronger than the voice of Janiva. But it's only quibbling. The magic of the Blues was with me at the 237 w 42 street ,NYC.

by meander on 5/22/10B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkJoe is the cool dude, clean licks delux with a class style all his own. A truth in the land of fakes and ad libs, Mr. Walker still allows that feeling you first got in the dive bar knowing blues were the only replacement for jazz. Ms. Janiva Magness gives a full tilt solid state i've lived the woman's life review. I can't remember when I had admired a woman artist as much as Bonny Raitt without a gitar in her hand. Delux combo, delightful surprise with Ms. Janiva Magness and topped with the allmighty gladdness you get with a triple bill of watermellon slim-i'm a happy patron. Enjoy Janiva Magness or Joe Lewis Walker (or Watermellon Slim) anytime you feel your life ain't got the feelin' you left behind in youth.
