Now 70 years old,Phillip Walker has made one of the best albums of his career.He's picked songs from artists that have influenced him,like Percy Mayfield,Lowell Fulson,and Lonesome Sundown.This album has a nice variety of songs and styles - from low-down(Champion Jack Dupree's "Bad Blood") to funky(Percy Mayfield's "Lying Woman").If You like this record,also try to hear Phillip Walker's Black Top albums - on one of them he pays tribute to his boss of the 1950's,accordion wizard Clifton Chenier,by playing a zydeco blues.With the strength of this new fine effort,let's wish that any sensible record company will re-release these modern classics.
