Congratulations to Joe Louis Walker who was inducted into the Blues Foundation’s Blues Hall of Fame the evening of May 8 during a ceremony held at the Memphis Marriott Downtown.
According to The Blues Foundation, “The Blues Hall of Fame is a historical record of those who have made the blues timeless through performance, documentation, and recording. Since its inception in 1980, The Blues Foundation has inducted new members annually into the Blues Hall of Fame for their historical contribution, impact and overall influence on the blues.” Previous inductees include B.B. King, Hound Dog Taylor, Koko Taylor, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Etta James, Howlin’ Wolf and other blues greats.
According to Walker, the induction is humbling. “I am honored to be in the company of the great artists already inducted. It’s a dream come true. So many of the other inductees were not alive to appreciate the recognition. I hope to live up to the honor.”
UPDATE:
Upcoming TV Placement: “Kick Me To The Curb,” from Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials’ 2012 release Jump Start , originally scheduled to air tonight on the CBS drama Criminal Minds, has been pushed back one week. Tonight’s episode is a re-run. Correct air date is now April 3rd (season eight, episode eighteen)
CBS Television’s Criminal Minds will feature Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials’ Kick Me To The Curb during the episode set to air on Wednesday, March 27. The song, written by Lil’ Ed Williams, leader of the Blues Music Award-winning Blues Imperials (now celebrating 26 years together), is from 2012′s Jump Start.
Living Blues says Jump Start is “high-octane, expressive, fiercely articulated, harrowingly intense and raucous. Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials hit the floor running and accelerate from there.”
