  • This album reunited in the studio Lil’ Ed and Dave Weld, during Ed’s brief hiatus from non-stop touring and time away from Alligator Records. This session features only one cover tune, an obscure one by the late Chicago guitarist J. B. Hutto, Lil’ Ed’s uncle, who musically mentored both Ed and Dave. The backing band was Dave Weld’s Imperial Flames.

    “Weld and Lil Ed alternate acoustic duo performances of raw Delta blues and full-band workouts in a variety of styles. Their vocals and guitar playing complement each other perfectly; both possess deep, hard-driving voices.”
    –Bluesprint

    “Keep on Walkin’ boasts some outstanding guitar work (including lots of screaming slide) from both featured artists, as well as some effectively gritty singing from Ed… Ed and Weld are at their best when they let their guitars do the talking.”
    – Illinois Entertainer
