Our Take
Our Take
Peter Walker's latest album, Rainy Day Rag, is a delightful romp through the world of folk music with a modern twist. Walker's intricate fingerpicking and soulful vocals transport listeners to a bygone era, where troubadours roamed the countryside serenading fair maidens and battling dragons (metaphorically speaking, of course).
The album kicks off with the whimsical title track, "Rainy Day Rag," a toe-tapping tune that sets the tone for the rest of the journey. Walker's nimble guitar work is front and center, accompanied by haunting harmonies and lush string arrangements that add depth and richness to the overall sound.
Standout tracks include the hauntingly beautiful "Moonlit Meadow" and the rollicking "Whiskey in the Well," both of which showcase Walker's songwriting prowess and musicality. The album closes with the lush instrumental "Sunset Serenade," a perfect ending to a perfect album.
Overall, Rainy Day Rag is a must-listen for fans of folk music and singer-songwriters alike. Walker's unique blend of traditional folk elements with a modern sensibility is a breath of fresh air in a crowded musical landscape. So grab a cup of tea, cozy up by the fire, and let Peter Walker serenade you with his enchanting melodies. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist
Peter Walker
Peter Walker is the kind of musician who can make you feel like you're wandering through a psychedelic dreamscape while simultaneously teaching you the intricacies of fingerstyle guitar. With a career spanning over three decades, this eccentric artist has managed to stay under the radar of mainstream recognition, but has garnered a cult following of devoted fans who eat up his ethereal compositions like a plate of perfectly cooked crumpets. Walker first emerged on the scene in the late 1960s, playing alongside heavyweights such as Tim Buckley and Karen Dalton. His unique blend of folk, jazz, and Indian classical music caught the attention of legendary producer Lenny Waronker, who helped him release his debut album, "Rainy Day Raga," in 1966. Since then, Walker has continued to push the boundaries of acoustic music, blending Eastern and Western influences with avant-garde experimentation. Known for his reclusive nature and enigmatic persona, Walker rarely gives interviews or performs live, adding to his mysterious allure. When he does emerge from his musical hibernation, fans flock to see him play, eager to witness his intricate guitar work and haunting vocals in person. Despite his lack of mainstream success, Walker's impact on the music world cannot be denied. His influence can be heard in the work of artists such as Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom, who cite him as a major inspiration. With a discography that spans genres and defies categorization, Peter Walker remains a true original in a sea of imitators.
