It’s kind of fun to keep things fresh, working it out and working new stuff out so that I can record it later this year.Ĭan I get a glimpse into your songwriting process and how it evolves? I’ve been doing like half the new record and about half from the next record. I like doing that. Your current tour is in support of the upcoming album Primrose Green. *A few nights later, at a gig in Brooklyn, Walker did sit in with Morby’s band We’ve tried to sketch it out, and I think before the end of it we’ll work on something together and make it happen.* Have you collaborated - have you done any cross pollination while you’re out there on the road? They’re a good band, they’re just getting into a groove right now, too, so they’re really starting to gel. It’s a trio, like a keyboard guy and another person on electric guitar so it’s kind of a low key band.

It was really fun for us.Īre you on tour with a full band, or are you playing solo acoustic gigs?
But we had kind of a little stopover back home. Yeah, I’m headed to Indiana here in a little bit for the next gig. He took some time to speak with me about that album, songwriting, and some of his influences. Ryley Walker’s new album, Primrose Green touches on a little bit of all of these genres. That hunger informs the blend of music that Walker produces: a mix of the “primitive” style of guitar playing and soulful, introspective lyrics that alternately can mellow-out and ramp-up. He can discuss any number of these influences, and although he doesn’t claim to have some all-encompassing knowledge of them, his hunger and interest in their pursuit is quite obvious when he speaks. Chicago’s Ryley Walker is a folk singer whose unique brand of musicianship is a melding of styles, from the fingerpicking schools of Bert Jansch and Pentangle to the blue-eyed soul of Van Morrison and the free-jazz guitar of Sonny Sharrock.
