Legendary blues musician Joe Louis Walker, a Blues Hall of Fame member with a shelf full of awards (and a 2017 Grammy nomination) took a few minutes to chat with the Professor in advance of his show in Baltimore. Joe is going to be in town Saturday the 24th at the Rosedale American Legion Hall at 8pm with Mikey Junior. He’s recorded with BB King, James Cotton, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Branford Marsalis and Ike Turner, and recently appeared with the Blues Brothers Band, on Walter Trout’s multi-guest album and a lot more. I don’t really know where to begin picking out highlights of his career!

Jimmie Bones Interview

Monday, February 19th, 2018 by The Professor

Jimmie “Bones” Trombly is probably best known for his role as keyboardist for Kid Rock’s Twisted Brown Trucker Band, but he’s been a part of Robert Bradley’s Blackwater Surprise, and played on and co-produced the final album of bluesman R. L. Burnside, among his many credits.  

Currently on tour with Kid Rock and heading to the Royal Farms Arena on March 3rd, Jimmie has also released his first solo project “Snakebit and Wandering” on Funky D Records. Jimmie kindly took some time to talk to The Professor from WLOY’s Monday Morning Blues show in advance of their arrival in town.  From getting the guitar of Wayne Kramer (MC5) on his album to the joy of touring by private jet, they covered a lot.  Check out the interview below, and pickup a copy of Jimmie’s CD here

From The Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza to Jimmy Kimmel Live, it’s been a rocket ride. Hint: although it seems like it, this wasn’t an overnight sensation, Josh has paid his dues…
