Talking Hendrix News For the Week of August 23, 2019

What's coming up this week..... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This week we have three special guests all of whom we've been lucky to have grace the airwaves of our show and are all masters of their craft in the blues and rock genres of music and all who've been lucky to play with so many great legends in their time. our first of three guests is legendary blues artist Joe Louis Walker information on Joe is courtesy of press release from John Lappen of Lappen enterprises: Joe Louis Walker is one of the greatest bluesmen of his generation. He is a four-time Blues Music Award winner and 2013 Blues Hall of Fame inductee who has appeared on multiple Grammy-winning albums. He is known worldwide as one of the genre’s top musical trailblazers—a mesmerizing guitarist and soul-testifying vocalist. The New York Times raves, “Walker is 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.” And Billboard writes: “His playing blows all over the map…gutbucket blues, joyous gospel, Rolling Stones-style rock crunch, and aching R&B. Walker’s guitar playing is fine and fierce." Joe won the 2016 Blues Foundation Contemporary Blues Male Artist of the Year award at the Blues Foundation Awards ceremony in Memphis. The Blues Music Awards are universally recognized as the highest accolade afforded blues music performers. The annual Blues Music Awards ceremony is the premier event for blues professionals, musicians, and fans from all over the world. Joe’s latest album is a CD/DVD release filmed live in Las Vegas in 2018 and is, of course, entitled Viva Las Vegas. It was released in May on Cleopatra Records. Here’s a link to information on this release: http://www.mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=206000 Joe will be performing at the North River Blues Festival in Marshfield, Massachusetts on Saturday August 24. Our second guest is no stranger to Talking Hendrix infact we should probably present an award for being a guest who's appeared on our show as many times as he has and that's James Montgomery, James is no stranger to the new england area as he's told us at Talking Hendrix one of his first performances with his James montgomery band was at UMass in Amherst Massachusetts during the days of the Kent State protest rallies all around the country at the time. james has graced the stage with many prolific artists such as Bonnie raitt, The rolling STones, Aerosmith, Johnny Winters, The Allman Brothers, Joe Cocker and way too many more to list here we always have a blast when James calls in to do interviews with us at Talking Hendrix. James was inducted in 2018 into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame, this is also the same year he put out a self-titled album called the james montgomery Blues Band, but the interesting thing about this album is it pays tribute to one of James's musical heroes and is a legend himself who we lost way to early in his life and career and that's Paul Butterfield, James does great renditions of some of paul butterfield's biggest classic hits like "born in chicago' and 'mary mary", which strangely enough wasn't a Paul butterfield penned tune, it was written by Michael nesmith of the sixties famed television group the monkees, james's version of 'mary Mary" is a mix between the Butterfield Blues Band version and the monkees version as well. James will be performing at Memorial Stadiumin Quincy, Massachusetts on Saturday August 24. our third guest is Paul Nelson this is Paull's second time appearing on Talking Hendrix we spoke with Paul back in october of 2017 our information below is courtesy of John Lappen of Lappen Enterprises" Being blues/rock icon Johnny Winter‘s hand-picked touring and recording guitarist is just one of the accolades held by Grammy-winning guitarist Paul Nelson who has also shared the world’s stages and/or recorded alongside Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Billy Gibbons, Slash, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Vince Gill, Sonny Landreth, Ben Harper, Joe Bonamassa, amongst others. With appearances on Late Night with David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel, Nelson is known for his amazing tone and playing style by an ever-growing legion of fans, establishing him as one of today’s leading modern blues and blues-rock guitar trendsetters. Nelson received a Grammy Award for his work performing on and producing Winter's Step Back release on Megaforce/Sony Records, winning "Best Blues Album of the Year.” Step Back also won the Billboard Music Award "Blues Music Award" for "Best Blues/Rock Album," reaching #16 on the Billboard Top 200 and staying at #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts for weeks. Nelson is also a recipient of the Blues Foundation's KBA "Keeping the Blues Alive Award.” Paul was also nominated for a Grammy for his production and playing on the highly acclaimed album by Blues Hall of Famer Joe Louis Walker, Everybody Wants a Piece. He also appears in the award-winning documentaries: Down and Dirty: The Johnny Winter Story and Sideman: Long Road to Glory"(feat: Bonnie Rait, Gregg Allman, Hubert Sumlin), Nelson, who studied with legendary guitarist Steve Vai in his Berklee College of Music days, and jazz fusion greats Steve Khan and Mike Stern, created a tour de force with his first solo all-instrumental blues/rock/fusion solo release, entitled LOOK. Staying at #1 on the Billboard Hot New Releases charts for months, Nelson's latest project Badass Generation was released on Sony Records. It maintains his unmistakable connection to the Blues, but it also finds Nelson showing his many other musical dimensions that his ever-growing fan base has come to expect and who consider him to be one of music's most respected and influential contemporary guitarists. Paul fronts his new four-piece band and Bad Ass Generation is indeed a badass album, full of bluesy, bawdy, rocking riffs, tight ensemble playing and well-written songs. Whether it's headlining festivals or performing at many of music's most prestigious stages or iconic clubs to packed houses – including New York's Iridium, the Blue Note, 55 Bar and BB Kings to London's Astoria and Buddy Guy's Legends in Chicago - Nelson's guitar mastery and band in a live setting is impressive and unforgettable. The Johnny Winter documentary, Down & Dirty debuted at South by Southwest and is a highly acclaimed, no-holds barred, inside look at the life of Johnny Winter. Paul is featured extensively in the film and is also the film’s Executive Producer.
