About Joe Louis Walker
Artist Biography
It took bluesman Joe Louis Walker 20 years to establish himself, but once he released his debut, Cold Is the Night, in 1986, he quickly became a staple in contemporary blues. Walker drew upon blues, soul, and gospel in equal measure, a combination that sounded electrifying upon his national debut, but this hybrid also allowed him to play in a variety of settings, both on-stage and on record. A career generating such highlights as 1996's The Gift and 2004's New Direction led to a 2013 induction in the Blues Hall of Fame. He made his Alligator debut with 2014's Hornet's Nest, and remained with the label until moving to the Los Angeles-based Cleopatra for 2020's Blues Comin' On and 2021's Eclectic Electric, a collection composed primarily of radically re-envisioned covers. Walker moved to Forty Below for the 2023 soul-blues exploration Weight of the World.
