Lakeport >> Joe Louis Walker is a legendary, boundary-pushing modern blues musician. A leading light who has played his electric guitar with the likes of B.B. King, Jimmy Hendrix, John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters. On Saturday he will make a special appearance in Lake County at the Soper Reese Theatre.
The Blues Hall of Fame inductee is also a four-time Blues Music Award winner, Blues Foundation Contemporary Male Artist of the Year and is nominated for Best Rock Blues Album of the Year for his latest release, “Everybody Wants a Piece.”
The New York Times calls Walker “… a singer with a Cadillac of a voice. He delivers no-nonsense, gutsy blues. His guitar solos are fast, wiry and incisive, moaning with bluesy despair.” Rolling Stone simply calls him “ferocious.”
