The band is the Wailin' Walker Band. The front man is Wailin' Al Walker. The music is electric blues and blues/rock, sometimes uptempo, sometimes downtempo, and it will wow you. You'll hear bits that sound like Hendrix, bits that sound like the Beatles, but mostly a blues that would fit right in in Chicago. Guest artists include Jerry Doucette, Willy MacCaulder, and Adam Drake.
Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Wailin' Al Walker's recording career spans 5 decades. He was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. Expect a second album from the same recording session.
