I saw JLW in Bakersfield, CA back in the late 80s in a bar called the Alley Cat. He was outstanding! Truly a nice fellow also.

Big Joe Turner has a song named Rebecca. Joe's version is much more lively and jumpin, go get 'em Joe Lewis Walker!
-
I miss how Joe Louis Walker used to get down like this. Not as much fire these days as then.
-
Minor correction: the first verse starts like this:
"She's got eyes like diamonds, they shine like Klondike gold"
This is one of those classic old blues lines whose originator is unknown. Taj Mahal copped it in his version of "Corrina, Corrina".

Joe Louis Walker has degrees in music and english. Maybe you should open your ears (and mind) a little bit.
-
Pay your respect for a great musician and an excellent bluesman.
He's been out there for such a long time, he deserves to be praised more & more !
Go JLW !

Klondike gold. From the old gold-panners.

shes got eyes like diamonds
her eyes they shine like gold
shes got eyes like diamonds
her eyes they shine like gold
all I want is a little love before I get to old
the moon looks good
its shinnin through the trees
the moon looks good
its shinnin through the trees
dont my woman look nice right here beside me

you can barely understand him
Sorry mark but I've performed with Joe and he told me himself that it was called 'Rebecca' when I asked him. Just checked again in my collection and it sounds like the same song to me.
