"The re-emergence of soul singer supreme
Wee Willie Walker has been one of the most
welcome musical developments of the past
several years, as he tours internationally,
makes sterling additions to his catalogue, and
racks up well-deserved raves and honours.
With "After A While", his discography has
reached a new peak. Anthony Paule provides
his usual spot-on, savvy and impeccable guitar
playing and bandleading, as his talent-rich
Soul Orchestra combines with thoughtful,
substantial songwriting, much of it by
Christine Vitale, to craft as sympathetic a frame
as a vocalist could dream about.
"Willie brings all of his passion, power and
depth to bear. It all adds up to what is very
much a collaboration, one which should bring
copious joy to listeners and wind up on many
blues and soul awards lists." Richard
Shurman, Music Journalist & Record Producer
