Murali Coryell
Due to unforseen circumstances, the Joe Louis Walker show has been cancelled.
Murali Coryell has a story that is unique and has been growing since before he was born. Held by Hendrix, lived with Santana, dinners with Miles Davis. A perennial performer at the Mustique Blues Festival AKA "Mick Jagger Island", toured as supporting act for B.B. King , played with other heroes Buddy Guy, Delbert McClinton and Levon Helm: Has toured as a featured artist with Blues Artist Joe Louis Walker, Jazz saxophonist Bill Evans, and his father Larry Coryell.
Jim Hynes of Elmore Magazine writes in review of “Made In Texas”, “With this, his ninth album, the talented guitarist and soulful vocalist Murali Coryell continues to expand his repertoire, yet his deep soul certainly remains intact.” “With ‘Made in Texas’, Larry’s son, Murali Coryell offers everything the music lover could wish for: good songs, sufficient variation and an excellent band. More than reason not to doubt his new release!...“ (ESC for Rootstime.be).
In addition to performing his own original music, Murali has covered the songs of Sam Cooke, Al Green, Jimi Hendrix, Muddy Waters, Charles Mingus and Marvin Gaye.
