PHILLIP WALKER "GOING BACK HOME" Source: WVKR - FM 91.3 VASSAR COLLEGE Date: 01/2007 Writer: Nicholas de Leeuw

Stunningly good expression of the Texas Blues tradition that brought us T-Bone Walker, Gatemouth Brown, and Long John Hunter.  And Like T-Bone's best work, recorded in L.A. with an assemblage of crack musicians that support and bring out the best in the singing and guitar slinging star.  Play Mean Mean Woman (3), Blackjack (4) and Lay You Down (9) and you will see what I mean.  Or play anything else, 'cause its all good.  You may wonder what Mr. Walker has against women (!) but you'll have no doubt you are listening to a living Blues master.
