Bobby Walker has been playing professionally for close to four
decades, and Git It feels like a document of his time touring
around the States, Japan and Germany. In his whisky-soaked rasp, you
can hear the miles he’s traveled on this mini-travelogue of the blues,
from the funky blues of Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Good Mornin’ Little
School Girl” to the jump blues of “Swang Thang” or the slow down home
blues of “Mean Ol’ World.” He’s taken local veteran guitarists Jinx
Jones and Jasco (of Mojambus) along for the ride as well as well as Bay
Area guitarist Volker Strifler, who handles lead guitar duties on about
half of the tracks. As Git It shows, whatever “it” is, Walker’s
already got it.
