Grammy-winning guitarist vocalist and BluesHall Of Farner Joe Louis Walker, virtuoso pianist Bruce Katz and next­ generation British harmonica ace Giles Robson take listeners on a musical tour of beautifully played, soulfully sung traditional blues. The album features a carefully chosen collection of eleven stripped­ down, unadulterated rare and classic blues and one newly written instrumental, all performed by absolute masters of the form.

The album was conceived in December of 2016 when Joe Louis Walker first met and jammed with Giles Robson at a festival in the Netherlands. Robson imagined recording an acoustic blues album with Walker. Walker quickly agreed, and suggested adding famed piano player Bruce Katz to the mix. The result is JourneysTo The Heart Of The Blues. Produced by Walker, Katz and Robson and recorded at NRS Studio in Woodstock, New York during a sub-zero stretch of weather in January of 2018, Journeys To The Heart Of The Blues captures three blues giants reinterpreting obscure and classic songs.

The trio digs deep, playing with gimmick-free raw energy on songs by blues masters including Sonny Boy Williamson Jazz Gillum, Blind Willie McTell, Smiley Lewis, Papa Lightfoot and Big Maceo. The songs may be old, but the recordings are fresh and vibrant.
