The Night Train from Nashville pulls into the Hi-Tone Cafรฉ for a nonstop dance party this Friday night, when ย60s Southern soul star Charles ยWiggย Walker and his newly formed, nine-man funk outfit the Dynamites transform the club into a stop on the chitlinย circuit. Walker ย an unsung musical hero if there ever was one ย made his name waxing sides for the Chess and Champion labels; today, heยs dazzling younger generations with his superlative showmanship and perfect pipes while most of his cohorts are enjoying a quiet retirement. Listen for cult classics like ยNo Fool No Moreย and brand-new tracks like ยSlinkyย and ยCome On In.ย Setting the mood: Memphix DJ Chase One, Buck Wilders, the Hook-Up, and Nashville DJ D-Funk. Fans of the Bo-Keys, William Bell, or Sharon Jones, this show is for you. A paltry $5 will get you into the party, which starts at 9 p.m. on Friday, June 2nd.
