One hell of a Texas blues album !
Born in 1934 around Shreveport, Louisiana, Huary Perry Wilson and his family soon moved to Dallas. In the late 1970s he relocated to Fort Worth and performed in local clubs and blues bars with musicians like drummer-singer Robert Ealey in a band called "Boogie Chillun" that became the main attraction of the New Bluebird club. Inspired by guitarists like ZuZu Bollin, Lightnin' Hopkins' cousin Frankie Lee Sims and Cornell Dupree, Wilson slowly built a solid guitar-slinger reputation on stage even while he hadn't recorded any album yet ! He had to wait 1987 to be given the possibility to do so and his debut record, "On My Way" came out in 1988, four years after SRV debut "Texas Flood". There are similarities between both men, starting by their sound signature and amazing technical virtuosity, but we won't enter the endless quarrel about which one influenced the other, though the truth might just be found in their age difference (Wilson being born twenty years earlier).
