Concise storytelling from Wily Bo Walker continues a thread that works across a few of his albums…
Features the fantastic slide guitar of bluesman Graham Hine (
www.grahamhine.com) and the wonderful voodoo chants and backing vocals of Kareña K
Said of this song:
"'Walking With The Devil' is a dark funky, jazzy blues number, with a large voodoo atmosphere. Graham Hine starts the song with a nice slide intro. The lurid story that the devil went walking with his wife shows Wily masterfully with his characteristic lived in and smoky, raspy voice." - Walter Vanheuckelom, Blueszine
“Wily Bo Walker explores a melange of moods, feels, narratives and grooves, no more so than on the opening ‘Walking With The Devil’, which features the triumvirate of Wily, the devil and Graham Hine’s weeping slide playing which threads its way through the heart of the track." - Pete Feenstra, Get Ready to Rock
"The opener here is ‘Walking With The Devil’ and after a slow, sustained guitar line he moves into a New Orleans shuffle – and then the vocals come in: smoky, dark (I mean Nick Cave dark) and captivating. You just have to listen and be mesmerised by his singing and that awesome guitar line." - Andy Snipper, Music News
