CD ReviewsPhillip Walker's new record brings the blues back home Tommy Forsgren | Göteborg,Sweden | 05/31/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "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." West Coast Guitar Master A. A. Paul | Los Angeles, CA | 08/02/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "It's really a shame that Phillip Walker has been so under-recorded and under-appreciated. "Going Back Home", Walker's debut for Delta Groove Productions, will surely help to point out Walker's place as one of the greatest living bluesmen. From the opening bars of the album all the way to its close Walker's guitar heroics shine like the edge of a switchblade in the LA sun. The album is full of raw, muscular and funky blues which Walker sings and plays through with the kind of ability that only comes with his years of experience. A true modern-day classic, this album is an essential purchase for any fan of the blues, or any guitarist who wants to know what it's really about."
