I’m very happy to say this weeks interview is with Joe Louis Walker.  A few days ago Joe’s debut CD on Alligator Records was released called Hellfire.  Besides the usual great blues, blues-rock, and gospel that Joe does he takes everything up a notch this time out.  A few weeks ago producer/song writer/drummer Tom Hambridge was on the show and talking about how impressed he was with Joe’s music on Hellfire.  Now you’re going to hear some of those great songs they worked on together along with some great stories from Joe Louis Walker.

This episode is on Texas guitarist Roy Trevino. This is Roy’s first solo CD.  He’ll be talking about this great eclectic CD he’s just put out as well as his background in music and working with veteran producer Jim Gaines. Roy’s catchy song “The Boy Can Play” should be getting a lot of air play along with the Spanish flavored song “Sin Ella”.

This week’s show is with Toronzo Cannon.  He will be telling us about how he signed on with Delmark Records and how he got the president of a competing label to write the notes for his new CD. We will also be hearing a song from Toronzo’s CD, Leaving Mood. Toronzo is the vocalist, song writer, and guitarist.  He always turns out really good guitar solos.  Carl Weathersby plays guitar on two tracks and Matthew Sholler is the very capable harp player on three tracks. Toronzo Cannon is a blues man that takes you back to the great Chicago blues sound, great job.
