A marvelous songwriter known for his acoustic blues adds a touch of jazz and a ballad or two.
Bio / Background
On this, his third CD, Walker is his usual eclectic self. For sure, those folks who love his acoustic blues and slide work will be pleased, but they'll probably be pleasantly surprised as well. Rather than getting "nasty" as he sometimes does with his slide, this CD has a sweeter timbre.
Milepost 5 opens with two "gettin'-after-it" tunes. Both show Walker's aggressive attack and his penchant for rhythmic blues. But on the third track, he jerks the listener into a completely different mood. That track, "Old and Wild", is about the agony and tragedy of old age. As the liner notes state, listeners who've dealt with the issues of an aging parent might find themselves "cut to the quick, if not the bone." The slide work here is simplistic, but sounds as if someone is crying.
Listening to the entire CD, you'll find yourself on an emotional roller coaster. Walker mixes up little shuffles, some R&B, sad ballads, and in a couple of cases, plays with a minimal touch.

I was quite pleasantly surprised after listen to this artist. Acoustic blues doesn't get much better than this.
