This New york-based guitarist has been electrifying
audiences for the past 40 years. Digitally remastered,
Little Miss Perfect captures a little bit of what it's
like to hear John Earl and his bandmates tear the house
down.
Right from the opening guitar licks of "Last Time Out,"
Walker and his smokin band of blues brothers get down
to business. The tempo of this opener is aided by the
guest harp of Johnny Byrne."Hurricane" is another
scorcher that slows the tempo down but recalls some of
the best tunes by the late Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double
Trouble.
Picking up the guitar as a 13-year-old, Walker has never
looked back, continuing to hone his chops over the
decades. One of his main influences, T-Bone Walker,
echoes throughout the recording, but Walker has certainly
developed his own blues style. Backed by a stellar lineup
of musicians that indvidually over the years have played
with everyone from B.B. King and Buddy Guy to Bo Diddley
and Muddy Waters, Little Miss Perfect is a perfect mix
of blues scorchers and soulful songs. Featuring a dozen
Walker originals, this CD shows that even after four
decades, this blues guitar great is not slowing down.
