Walter Wolfman Howls At The Narrows


Walter Wolfman Washington and the Roadmasters made a triumphant return to the Narrows Friday night, bringing the soulful and jazzy sounds of New Orleans.

The Wolf, although an understated guitar hero, nonetheless unleased some tasty riffs, as did his horn section (trumpet and sax), drummer and bass player.

The Wolf is a pretty fair vocalist, too. He reminds your humble blogger of an understated (like his guitar playing) Al Green.
The show was an official "lock," as declared by your humble blogger, who was nearly moved to tears when a member of the audience came up to him and noted that he had picked another great one.

A "lock" is a show from a lesser known artist that your humble blogger guarantees as excellent, throwing the full force of his tremendous influence and insight so people will buy tickets.

Keep an eye on this space for the next "lock."

Caught this show solely based on hearing a Wolfman disc playing before the Stuntmen show and your insistence that it'd be an great show -- it did not disappoint.

First caught the Rasputina show and loved the atmosphere of the Narrows so much that I've been catching shows whenever able. It's been a great way to find new (to me) music -- I honestly never would have heard of Wolfman otherwise, and that'd just be plain *unfortunate*.

Anywho -- thanks :)
