Joe Louis Walker, also known as JLW is an American musician, best known as an electric blues guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer. His knowledge of blues history is revealed by his use of older material and playing styles. NPR Music described him as “Powerful, soul-stirring, fierce and gritty…a legendary boundary-pushing icon of modern blues.”
Whether he’s exploring traditional themes or remaining cutting-edge contemporary, Joe Louis Walker now ranks with the blues elite. “I was told by many people, ‘Joe, don’t try to be me, and don’t try to be somebody else. Be yourself,’” he says. “I never was one of those guys to sit down and try to copy B.B. King note for note, or Albert King, or Freddy King. I enjoy the hell out of ’em, but I figure if I’m gonna do this here, I might as well do it and put my own stamp on it.”
In 2013, Walker was inducted to the Blues Hall of Fame. In addition that year, Walker was nominated in four categories for a Blues Music Award.
Lyrics
Well, I want you to know that I'm a jealous man And you about to cross the line 'Cause when it comes to my baby There's a no trespassing sign Better not step on this hornet's nest You'll be sorry when you've done Don't think you step on this hornet's nest Man, you're gonna get stung Been hangin' around my baby's roses Wherever it'll smell so sweet Mister, you got trouble coming And it's right to know your fate Don't go messing around this hornet's nest You'll be sorry when you've done Don't leave your steps on this hornet's nest Man, you're gonna get stung You're gonna get stung Don't feed and mess where you don't belong 'Cause this honey is all mine Time to go back where you came from You better leave my mess behind Don't be staring at this hornet's nest You'll be sorry when you've done Don't leave your steps on this hornet's nest Man, you're gonna get stung Man, you're gonna get stung Man, you're gonna get stung Man, you're gonna get stung Source: Musixmatch Authors: Tom Hambridge / Richard Fleming / Joe Louis Walker Hornet's Nest Lyrics © Richard Fleming Music
