Bio / Background
Born in 1969, Englishman Tom Walbank discovered blues at fifteen after seeing John Lee Hooker's brief appearance in the Blues Brothers film. After furiously studying the harmonica stylings of Sonny Terry, he spent many a year performing in the bars of Edinburgh, Scotland, with devout Hun Steve O'Connor. He then spent five years in the San Francisco Blues scene with his new Yankee bride, then continued his journey to Tucson, Arizona, where the rent is cheaper and he has become respected not only by the blues crowd, but also among rockabilly, punk, and indie fans as well. His music refuses to be a caricature of the music he loves, instead coming off as sincere, vital, and original. Mudhook Vol. II takes it title from an amagalmation of Muddy Water and John Lee Hooker, and those ghosts definitely haunt this recording. You'll hear slide guitar, harmonica and a deep, throaty voice that sounds like it could belong to a bluesman twenty years his senior.
