Foree Wells - Walnut Street Blues Band: It's a New Day Brother

Foree Wells traveled from Kentucky to Memphis to jam on Beale Street and play guitar on a Sun Records session with Rosco Gordon in the 1950s. Back home in Louisville, he emerged as the leading force on the local blues scene, sporting a guitar style influenced by Gatemouth Brown, B.B. King, and Pee Wee Crayton. Those influences are evident on It's a New Day, Brother!, along with tracks that dip into vintage Santana and Allman Brothers territory. This, Wells' only album, was once scheduled for release on the Rooster Blues label but when Foree died in 1997, the CD remained unissued - until now.
