about

"De Londres à la New Orléans, she'll never find another man like me…"

‘St James Infirmary Blues (de Londrés à la New Orléans)’ is a single taken from the sensational album ‘Ain’t No Man a Good Man’ by Wily Bo Walker & Danny Flam on Mescal Canyon Records

Wily Bo's creative ethos of ‘never worshipping the ashes but always preserving the flame’ manifests itself here with Wily Bo’s cover of this classic song which he frequently plays ‘live’ and which he also features in his ‘Rattlin Bone Theatre Show’

The album features amazing performances by the very best musicians from both sides of the Atlantic taking you on a journey through New York and London by way of New Orléans and Chicago

Press Quote:

"Wily Bo sounds like he should be leading the parade up Canal St in New Orléans…pretty damn awesome!"
