Aug 5 & 6: Son Jack Jr & Michael Wilde performing at the Port Townsend Blues Festival - 3 shows!
Blues Blast, February 2011 The major strength of this CD is that the covers tell you ‘how deep is the love’ that these musicians have for their Delta roots. An accomplished acoustic player Son Jack Jr has some strenuous workouts here on electric guitar including slide (‘Miss Maybelle’ is enough to make the dead get up and dance). All in all, this could be work by folks born and raised in the Delta or the Mississippi Hill country, rather than by an ex-pat Brit and a bunch of musicians from Seattle. Some nice finger-clicking music that will make your feet tap and satisfy your soul. Recommended.
Living Blues, October 2010"Going in a little different direction has worked out well for Son Jack Jr. here. Walk The Talk stacks up well with his other work and gives listeners a little bit more variety. Son Jack Jr.’s and Michael Wilde’s styles mesh well and are satisfying to the ear."
Blues Underground Network, Sept 2010"Walk The Talk is by far the best Traditonal Blues Album I have listened to all year. The highest rating I will give an album is 5*****, but this album is way higher"
