From his huge New York based ‘blues and soul revue’ and recording projects to his U.K. based, New Orleans themed, ’Rattlin Bone Theatre Show’, and from his solo acoustic swamp’n’stomp shows through to his stripped-down 4 piece rockin’ Blues and Americana themed ‘Wily Bo Walker Band’, Wily Bo proves why he has been recognised as an Artist who can twist genres into new forms and is worthy of his U.S. Blues Hall of Fame accolade of

‘The Roads We Ride’
Working with E. D. Brayshaw, the double album ‘The Roads We Ride’ is a film noir script, a storyboard, a rock, blues & americana soundtrack and a concept album completing the stories of the three characters introduced on their acclaimed ‘Stone Cold Beautiful’ release.
Three people - two paths - one story…

‘Ain’t No Man A Good Man’
Expanding upon the success of his solo album ‘Moon Over Indigo’, Wily Bo and Grammy Award winning artist Danny Flam have been working with some of the cream of the U.K. blues scene (names which include Mike Ross, Stevie Watts, Pete Farrugia, Kareña K, Paul Long and more) mixing the best of U.S. & U.K. musicians with music that explores the genre-twists that have come to be expected of a Wily Bo production

‘Troubadour Jams’
Rounding off the trilogy, ’Troubadour Jams’ will feature many friends and guests reworking previous Wily Bo songs in new ways…

There will be more Wily Bo Walker Band releases in between, of course, as well as vinyl and other surprises

All roads lead to VoodooVille…
