Toby Walker - Traveling Riverside Blues

[Shafeone]

I would like to "dislike" the "dislike". This is terrific slide work my man. Great job!

[sonocrat]

I see you have a "dislike". That's funny. Must be your hat! You da man, as usual.

[tobywalker123]

@sonocrat

Either that or I forgot to shave that morning. Can't please em' all.

[jepesuzette]

that was fantastic

[MrOddmanout1]

When you got to the "juice" part... that was a wow. Good playing, and emulatable! (not a word, but you get the drift)

[tobywalker123]

@MrOddmanout1

Thanks amgio. 

[squeezeboxVerna]

Wow!!! Thanks to my friend Lisa, I am HOOKED!! You are awesome!!

[tobywalker123]

@squeezeboxVerna

Thanks for writing.

[guitarsamurai1]

you sir are amazing. thanks very much! I really enjoyed your version of this song.

[tobywalker123]

@guitarsamurai1

Much thanks there.

[Disappearingboy1039]

my friend just rememinded me of u. u came to my eigth grade class in port washington new york in 2006. mr.hollis' class. i was one of the kids that voluteered to play guitar. u defenitly don't remember but ur good at guitar. i really liked the silver guitar.

[tobywalker123]

@Disappearingboy1039

Thanks for dropping me the line and for coming up to play your axe in class.

[yoonhapki]

awesome, but i still have yet to find someone playing the song like how its supposed to be.

[tobywalker123]

@yoonhapki

For that you'll have to listen to Robert Johnson my friend. Again... this is MY version.

[yoonhapki]

@tobywalker123 sry, just been looking forever now trying to find some one that does the original..every one just likes to do there own way, but still wicked playing.

[tobywalker123]

@yoonhapki

You'll probably keep looking forever... nobody plays anybody exactly.... unless you ask the original somebody and even then they probably would never be able to replicate what they just did. You want note for note? Put on the record. Even Robert Johnson's 2nd takes were different then his first takes.

saw Toby last Fri (4th Nov) in Barry, thoroughly enjoyable gig had by everyone, The Delbert65

At 2:37... I'm sorry but that's not not fair, you hoggin' up all the cool. Be careful though, Brozman's gonna cut you if he finds out you're stealin' his Secret Ghost Note Slide Technique!

Incredible. So damn cool I just watched it five times, and now I'm going back for five more.

Hey Toby. Just wanted to give you a shout out and tell you we really enjoyed your performance at the library in Rigdewood NJ last weekend. Some mighty fine playing and singing! Also, it was as a very rare treat for me to be the winner of the your CD too. Stop by my page when you get a chance and check out some of my stuff. I play on the subway platforms of NYC. Thank you. Enjoy.

[joyballterry]

Stunning musician and live performer. Having bought the equipment and learnt how to upload during the last year Toby is now treating us to just a flavour of what he can do. Keep coming back to this site and check out his own website. Hopefully more to come.

I've been playing this type of music for around 30 some odd years.

[naes9]

I love bluegrass and delta blues music. I play guitar myself at an intermediate level but have only just started trying to play this sort of stuff. How long have you been playing for?
