Wilson, U.P. - On My Way [CD]

Fort Worth has long been home to more than it's share of first-rate blues guitarists. Yet one of that city's premier axe wizards remains unknown outside of a handful of aficionados. Heralded as an inspiration and influence by musicians ranging from Stevie Ray Vaughan to Cornell Dupee, U.P. Wilson has until now had a lack of released recordings and periodic layoffs from performing have kept Wilson's incendiary fretwork concealed from the world at large. The time appears right for a larger audience to come to grips with the awesomely powerful axework that has made Wilson a legend to the elite of Texas blues musicians and fans with this album of gut-wrenching guitars and stunning blues boog-a-loo on tracks including 'Reconsider Baby', 'Como Station' and 'I'll Be Coming Home'.
