Album reviewers have been saying some very good things about Wilson T King since he unveiled his debut album Follow Your First Mind this year. Positive reaction has been overwhelming.
Wilson has some strong negative opinions about ‘white boy karaoke blues’ artists that take the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan as their inspiration… which might mean some of the other artists in this roundup. Hey, it’s only his opinion.
Wilson himself has a sound that echoes the far-out blues of Jimi Hendrix without ever coming across as a ‘karaoke’ guitarist. His wild bends and fast runs make him stand out from the current blues crop. Hey, maybe we should give him a bad review just to mix things up a bit…
