Little Miss Perfect by The John Earl Walker Band

" 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 nasty.This 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.

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 ash.He 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, www.johnearlwalkerband.com.
