He is one of the preeminent bluesmen of his generation and one of contemporary blues' most vibrant and innovative musicians releasing consistently exciting music. No matter what he's singing, Walker's churchy approach is soulful, heartfelt and spellbinding. Walker is a singer with a warm, a soulful voice, and a dynamic showman.
