Barry Walker, Jr. :: Paleo Sol

Pedal steel guitarist Barry Walker, Jr. has long spun out his unearthly twangs for rustic psychedelicists like Mouth Painter, North Americans and the Rose City Band. The lingering, shape-shifting overtones that float from his instrument imbue an instant mystery and ambiguity. He puts the “cosmic” in “cosmic country.” Now on this solo album—accompanied by drummer Rob Smith from Animal, Surrender! and Jason Willmon from Mouth Painter—he puts his ineffable sound at center stage, in songs that traverse drone, Americana and Reichian minimalism.
