Description:
Seth Walker`s 11-track collection spills over with down-home grit and feeling. Tunes like "Change My Way" and "Gone Before I Knew It" are steeped in Texas-soaked guitar boogie. Simultaneously, he can turn around and deliver tasty country soul on songs like "Steady," "2 Feet Left From The Ceiling" and "Sun Down." The North Carolina born-and-raised musician, who grew up on a hippie commune, also showcases a penchant for interpreting the work of other great songwriters. His solo piano-vocal rendition of Tom Waits` "Picture In A Frame" is quite simply gorgeous. On the James Hunter-penned number "Kick It Around," he turns out the kind of stinging blues licks and tough vocals that have earned him praise from artists like Delbert McClinton, Johnny Winter, Dale Watson and Marcia Ball.
