Although Joice Walton is known as a Jazz and Blues artist to fans in the U.S. and Europe, her acclaimed debut CD, 1994's Downsville Girl, and even more so on the follow-up album Texas Heat, the San Jose, California-based vocalist puts together blues, soul, jazz, rock and pop strains of American vernacular music in a seamless, multihued fabric.   http://joicewalton.com
