Although it didn`t enjoy the major label hype that his current output does, Walker`s HighTone encore just may be his finest album of all, filled with soulful vocal performances, bone-cutting guitar work, and tight backing from the Boss Talkers and the Memphis Horns. Honestly, you can`t go wrong with any of Walker`s remarkably consistent HighTone discs -- but give this one the slightest of edges over the rest. ~ Bill Dahl
