John Earl Walker Band - Little Miss Perfect (2005)

They say there is no substitute for experience, and I would certainly concur with that statement.There are a huge number of young guns on the blues and blues/rock scene these days, perhaps more now than ever. They are fast, brash, and confident but inexperienced nonetheless. Paying ones dues is not a popular practice these days.
New York guitarist John Earl Walker has been playing professionally since 1965. His lengthly resume includes a stint with a major label as a founding member of the Capitol Recording Artists Plum Nelly from 1970-1976. Since the bands breakup, Walker has continued to write, play, and sing, as do many great artists in this genre, in relative obscurity. He has paid his dues and then some.

"Walker has re-surfaced in 2002 with a vengeance on "Little Miss Perfect." The band which includes a talented lineup of veterans really pumps up the energy on this one!
Walkers guitar work is agressive and his tone nasty.This is definitely a recording that you will want to play at window shaking volume level.

This is some execellent rockin blues and another recording that all you ax-aholics will want to own! I particulary enjoyed "She Looks At Me,"
the very hot title track,(Little Miss Perfect,) "Hurricane," which may be my favorite on the set, and "Last Time Out," which also includes some great harp from special guest
Johnny Byrne.

If you are into guitar driven blues/rock music with an attitude,you are certainly going to want to add ANY and EVERY of John Earl Walker's CDs to your wish list.
