Joe has played alongside B.B. King, Ron Wood, and even back to Hendrix, Hooker, and Monk. As a solo artist he's put out around two dozen albums since 1986. He's a blues man but mixes in gospel, soul, rock, and many other styles.

We discuss the title track of Hellfire (2012), "Keep the Faith" from Hornet's Nest (2013), the title track from The Gift (1988), and listen to "Soldier for Jesus" from Viva Las Vegas Live (2019). Intro: "Don't Play Games" from Cold Is the Night (1986). For more, see joelouiswalker.com.
