North Carolina born, long time resident of Austin where this album was recorded, and now based in Nashville, 50 years old Seth Walker is a rather unique artist in the contemporary musical landscape : basically a bluesman, he's exploring the roots of modern American music. In this 2006 album, his third one, he extends his down-home southern gritty blues to "old" soul and R'n'B, western swing and country…
Rather than Americana, I would call it "Nostalgiana". And to make it clear that this personal conception of modern soul blues is his real musical identity, he simply titled the album "Seth Walker". The man is on a similar path to artists like Tom Waits and the likes, and even Bob Dylan whose last albums have a definite throw-back color.
