"Smart contemporary blues"
If you're looking for blues-roots music with the grit of Delbert McClinton and the detail and insight of Robert Cray, give Seth Walker a try! This Austin bluesman has been honing his craft for more than a decade in that musically competitive city, and he has broken out with his most recent album, "Leap of Faith," recorded in Nashville with songwriting input from Music City veteran Gary Nicholson. The son of classical musicians, Seth grew up on a commune in rural North Carolina. He played the cello and switched to the guitar, then to the blues, after a DJ uncle introduced him to the likes of T-Bone Walker and Snooks Eaglin. The All Music Guide's J. Poet wrote that Seth "uses the blues as a backbone for tunes that will equally please roots, Americana, folk, pop, and blues fans. He's a fine guitarist, but his playing never calls attention to itself; it's always placed in service of the song and the lyrics crackle with insight and subtle wit."
