Our Take

Joe Louis Walker's latest release, "Weight of the World," is like a hot cup of Earl Grey on a rainy London afternoon - comforting, yet with a unique spark that keeps you coming back for more.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. Walker's guitar skills are on full display, bending and wailing with the finesse of a seasoned pro. The title track, "Weight of the World," is a bluesy romp through the struggles of daily life, with Walker's gravelly vocals adding a soulful touch.

But it's not all seriousness and introspection here. Tracks like "Broke and Lonely" and "Way Too Easy" inject a healthy dose of funk and groove into the mix, reminding us that sometimes you just need to let loose and have a good time.

The collaborations on this album are also top-notch. Walker teams up with legendary blues artists like Keb' Mo' and Carla Cooke, adding even more layers to an already rich sound.

Overall, "Weight of the World" is a triumph for Joe Louis Walker. It's a testament to his enduring talent and his ability to meld traditional blues with modern sensibilities. So grab a copy, pour yourself a drink, and let Walker's music lift the weight of the world off your shoulders. Cheers!
