Lunchtime Music – Joe Louis Walker – Hellfire

Ok, so the first time I listened to Joe Louis Walker , I really wasn’t that impressed. I even forget the first album I listened to, but the other night I listened to the first few tracks of his latest album Hellfire and I knew that this one was going on the iPod! Not only that but I think it’s one of my favorite blues albums of the YEAR! Evidently the Blues Music Association agrees and has nominated Walker in four categories! They include: B.B King Entertainer Of The Year, Contemporary Blues Album, Contemporary Blues Male Artist and Gibson Guitar and I think the nominations are well deserved.

A Blues Black Friday with Albert Castiglia and James Buddy Rogers!

So yesterday was a blues day. I started the day by listening to the latest release by Albert Castiglia  (pronounced “ka-STEEL-ya”)   Living the Dream.  The album was released back in June and I think that it’s been on the Roots Music Blues Chart since it’s release. This week the album is at 46 dropping down from 29!  I first discovered Castiglia’s music back in 2010 when his album Keepin’ On was released, I immediately became a fan, what a great bluesman! Living the Dream is his third album on Blue Leaf Records and his fifth overall and I think he just keeps getting better and better! Read More
