“there are 8 million stories in VoodooVille, these are just a few of them…”
Wily Bo Walker has created a world for his music, stories, film storyboards and artistic vision in the cinematic, film noir landscape of VoodooVille…
‘Moon Over Indigo’, Wily Bo’s release from 2015, contains an opium den of tales and characters highlighted on its album cover by the visionary illustrator and artist Zhana D’Arte. Schizophrenic tales of a man and his demons…
The double album, ‘The Roads We Ride’, a film noir storyboard and its soundtrack by Wily Bo & E D Brayshaw, follows the tales of three characters and the paths and choices they make. The beautiful artwork, again by Zhana D’Arte, illustrates elements of their fateful journeys. Three people, two paths, one story…
‘Ain’t No Man a Good Man’ is an album collaboration with Danny Flam and a host of friends, artists and musicians from both sides of the Atlantic with yet another beautifully illustrated cover by Zhana D’Arte. Film noir stories, garnished with a touch of evil, weave their way through a world where Ava Gardner & Robert Mitchum would feel at home. Sleaze, sex, murder & mayhem. Cinematic tales, horn driven grooves and voodoo blues…
A companion album to ‘Ain’t No Man a Good Man’, ‘Tales of the Mescal Canyon Troubadours’ (aka ‘Troubadour Jams’), featuring more tales and drunken fables from the master of story-telling was released in February 2021. ‘Tales of the Mescal Canyon Troubadours’ sees Wily Bo weave his cinematic stories and revisit songs from his back-catalog, retelling them in a whole new groovalicious, roof liftin’, funkin’ and rockin’ blues style…
In 2022, Wily will begin to premiere his next collection of songs with E D Brayshaw under the title of ‘Some People Kill for Passion’ and will be performing his dark Americana, swampy blues ‘live’ shows alongside E D Brayshaw and a host of brilliant talented musicians with both an Acoustic and Electric Band
Wily Bo is also producing the theatre show, the music and the soundtrack album for ‘The Rattlin Bone Burlesque Theatre Show’, a theatre production that will open at a London Theatre late 2023 (Covid permitting)
All roads lead to VoodooVille…
In these extraordinary days of coronavirus, cancelled gigs and lack of regular income, I have set up a virtual Tip-Jar to help me continue to employ and pay musicians, to commission and pay artists, studio engineers, distributors and all the other creative people involved across my productions
