O’s Notes: Back in 1986 Joe Louis Walker made his debut recording, Cold Is The Night. Fast forward to 2025 and he’s polished the original for Cold Is The Night: Reimagined! You put Joe’s guitar, the B3, and some great stories together, and you have classic sing-along blues that will have you “cutting a rug”! “Brother, Go Ahead and Take Her”, “Don’t Play Games”, “Gettin’ Even”, and “I Need Someone” are songs that make common sense, but nobody is speaking about it. That’s what makes Cold Is The Night a great blues session.
