Khalif Wailin' Walter without a doubt belongs to the new generation of Chicago's young Blues Players who are carrying on the deep tradition. This definitely ain't your daddy's blues though. Khalif's music while firmly rooted in the Chicago electric blues guitar tradition is infused with modern funk and innovative arrangements to create his own unique musical voice. Khalif's stinging and singing guitar work is reminiscent of Blues greats Otis Rush, Albert King, Albert Collins. His tempermental vocals are in one moment suave and seductive and in the next moment passionately overpowering. This is a beautiful journey through funk, soul, and rock all wrapped in the Chicago Blues.
