"The world seems so unfair when talents like Billy Joe Walker Jr. can create such superb music and yet go relatively unknown. If you like Lee Ritenour (as I do), you'll definitely like Billy Joe (though they are distinctive). I have three CDs by Walker and am on the lookout for more. Warm Front is a collection of pieces that are accessible yet interesting on the 2nd or the 20th playing. Everything Walker does with his guitar just seems to work, and each piece moves ahead with an ease that belies it's origionality. This is jazz with an "island flavor" and just a splash of rock licks to keep your attention. "Luis" is definitely the best cut, but they are all guitar gems with a cool and natural purity. Simply great music!"

"Billy Joe Jr. is a great guitarist. Started out doing studio work and plays with and studied with Chet Atkins. Great licks. Well worth discovering. I've talked with his Dad, nice people."
