Nancy Walker - Layers of Rust and Time
Nancy Walker's "Layers of Rust and Time" is a lovingly produced recording, highly polished and beautifully packaged without losing a sense of play. The presence of Sue Demel, Nancy's former bandmate in Sons of the Never Wrong, shows their vocal synergy is strong as ever. Nancy's originals are thoughtful and innovative, revealing jazz, country, folk and pop influences, but the pull is toward folk - "Quecreek was Water" covers the chilling territory of a mine disaster; "One Man's History," inspired by David Lynch's "Straight Story" deals with living with memories of combat. Walker's "Here's Looking at Love" and Bruce Roper's "Good for Her" up the mood, and Walker sings the three traditional songs here as if she wrote them. Notably inventive instrumentation and playing - trumpet, dobro, harmonica, vocal scat, Larry Clyman's guitar work - a sonic delight!" ..Andrew Calhoun..Waterbug Records
