$13.59
San Francisco blues guitar king Joe Louis Walker has been purveying his biting brand of West Coast blues since the '60s, with time off for good behavior, literally (he spent years going "straight" attending school and playing gospel). On BETWEEN A ROCK AND THE BLUES he manages to keep one foot in the L.A. blues he grew up on (T-Bone Walker, Lowell Fulson, et al.) and the other in a more modern sound, both in his songwriting and his impassioned fretwork. On the likes of "Eyes like a Cat" and "Way Too Expensive," Walker's seasoned band whips up a sassy, swinging, old-school jump blues feel, while "Tell Me Why" leans into a classic-sounding Chicago-style shuffle. Walker's voice, still lithe and clear at 58, rings out authoritatively over it all, and his concise, stinging guitar makes no apologies for asserting its dominion over all it surveys. An unplugged stab at Delta blues on "Send You Back" feels less convincing, but other cuts, such as "I'm Tide" and "If There's a Heaven," show off a crunchier, grittier, more rock-inflected guitar tone with a compositional sensibility to match. When Walker taps into this more modern-sounding mode, though, it's important to realize there's ...

Some folks say these two tired souls crawled out the portland shanghai tunnels, back to repay the city's watering holes with sweet odes to sin and salvation, breathing the melodies that have always been sung, releasing others that always will be sung, in other words...In the spring of 2001, Hillstomp was born in a basement in SE Portland, OR. It was the bastard child of Henry Kammerer and John Johnson's mutual need to make music and drink beer. Within a few weeks the Guitar/"Drum" duo played their first open mic at the green room in Portland to a rousing and slightly scary response. Unfortunately, John's drumset (cardboard box, plastic bucket and weber grill lid) didn't survive the ordeal so the pair went back under the basement stairs to build some new drums and practice.In June of 2002 Hillstomp emerged from the dust and dark with a raucous brand of hill country blues rock stomp. It is a visceral music that makes you want to stomp your feet, shake your ass and love your neighbor.After releasing two E.P's in 2003, Hillstomp released their first full-length album "One Word" to a sold out and nearly rabid crowd at the White Eagle in Portland.Hillstomp is tending a fire that has been smoldering in the hills of northern Mississippi for nearly a century, bringing it alive for another generation. In them you can glimpse the past, present and future of the blues. Their particular brand of North Mississippi trance blues differs drastically from the 12-bar style that your uncle listens to. This shit is different. Even as a ...
