Details:
They say there is no substitute for experience, and I would certainly concur with that https://www.tradebit.comre 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 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 https://www.tradebit.coms 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.
You may experience "Little Miss Perfect" on-line at
https://www.tradebit.com and there is indeed no substitute for experience.

Setting a guitar on fire is purely theatrics that may
pre-date Hendrix,done to shock and awe the audience.
John Earl Walker doesnt have to resort to such theatrics.
He has to be careful not to catch any house he plays on
fire. The fire that flies from his fingertips would leave
any venue he plays a pile of smoldering https://www.tradebit.com is incendiary, pure fire... His band (not to be forgotten)
equally so....

Quote: "Little Miss Perfect
captures a little bit of what its like to hear John Earl
and his band mates tear the house down."
This New york-based guitarist has been electrifying
audiences for the past 40 years. Digitally remastered,
Little Miss Perfect captures a little bit of what it''s
like to hear John Earl and his bandmates tear the house
down.
Right from the opening guitar licks of "Last Time Out,"
Walker and his smokin band of blues brothers get down
to business. The tempo of this opener is aided by the
guest harp of Johnny Byrne."Hurricane" is another
scorcher that slows the tempo down but recalls some of
the best tunes by the late Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double
Trouble.
Picking up the guitar as a 13-year-old, Walker has never
looked back, continuing to hone his chops over the
decades. One of his main influences, T-Bone Walker,
echoes throughout the recording, but Walker has certainly
developed his own blues style. Backed by a stellar lineup
of musicians that indvidually over the years have played
with everyone from B.B. King and Buddy Guy to Bo Diddley
and Muddy Waters, Little Miss Perfect is a perfect mix
of blues scorchers and soulful songs. Featuring a dozen
Walker originals, this CD shows that even after four
decades, this blues guitar great is not slowing down.

Little Miss Perfect features twelve orignal compositions and some scorching guitar at times reminiscent of Stevie Ray Vaughn, but also shows traces of some of his guitar heroes including Freddie King, Albert King, Magic Sam, and T-Bone Walker.
Walker is also an effective singer and the band provides rock-solid support. Standout tracks on Little Miss Perfect include "Hurricane," "You Let Me Down,"
"Last Time Out."
Fans of blues/rock in the Hendrix/SRV vein will want to give this fine disc a listen. Its available at the band''s website, https://www.tradebit.com.
