Walter "Wolfman" Washington:
Walter “Wolfman” Washington has been an icon on the New Orleans
music scene for decades. His searing guitar work and soulful vocals
have defined the Crescent City’s unique musical hybrid of R&B, funk
and the blues since he formed his first band in the 1970s. When
Washington formed his first band as a leader he was often
pigeonholed into the blues genre. But by taking his cues from the
likes of Lee Dorsey, Irma Thomas, Johnny Adams and the jazzman
Lastie, his sound reflects the full range of music from New Orleans.
He certainly can howl the blues, hence his nickname, but his musical
talents have always defined pure Crescent City soul. In later years,
with the second rise of funk, Washington fully embraced that genre as
well. Seeing Walter “Wolfman” Washington perform with his current
outfit, THE ROADMASTERS, is akin to taking a history lesson on
black music in America with the exception that sitting down and
taking notes is not an option.
