I'm very happy to announce the completion of the next volume of the Work series, the new album "Work: Part Two". It's produced by the amazing Rich Brotherton.

It features Rich on guitar, mandolin, dobro, 12-string guitar and cittern, Jonathan Rundman on piano and accordion, Mary Rowell and Maddy Brotherton on violn, Amy Allison along with Rich and Jonathan on supporting vocals, Kathy Brotherton on Piano and EJ Jones on flute.

Walter rocks a sweet Spanish melody, swings a sexy jazz number, and then reaches deep for a soulful expression of values in a troubled world. He tops it all with a funky number chronicling three American misfits searching for peace of mind and headed for disaster on the shores of Mexico -- all skillfully blended into a seamless flow. Original release April 12, 2016 - Sonic Pyramid.
