Review for Walker Road Trio:
Walker Road is the coming-together of three highly seasoned musicians with diverse backgrounds. They create a unique sound with an emphasis on strong vocals, tight rhythms, and a broad repertoire. World-class vocalist Laura Walker plays her powerful voice like an orchestra. Her solid bass playing provides the foundation for the group. Mike Orlin, on guitar, is the group's primary songwriter and vocalist, and a long-time veteran of the Atlanta music scene. Eddie Gwaltney sings, write songs, tickles the keys, plays banjo, acoustic guitar and accordion to round out the group.
Combined they share a background that encompasses everything from jazz, R & B, country, rock
music, American folk and blues traditions. Together, they offer a wide repertoire composed of original material, familiar nuggets from the worlds of rock and country music, and a bit of jazz and old-timey blues.
