Blue Soul is an album by the American musician Joe Louis Walker, released in 1989.

[15] The New York Times wrote that Walker's voice "is weather-beaten but ready for more; his guitar solos are fast, wiry and incisive, often starting out with impetuous squiggles before moaning with bluesy despair.

"[17] The Fayetteville Observer warned that "Walker nears Las Vegas-style schmaltz on a couple of early tracks.

"[18] The Province noted that Walker "applies his light-fingered, spare guitar style to a variety of blues-styling, including soul and gospel.

King and the Stax sound, an impressive ability on guitar and an appealing vocal style marked a strangely velvety cragginess.
