Although he is heavily influenced by guitar players BB King, T-Bone Walker and Snooks Eaglin to name just a few, Walker also has a great gift for songwriting in the blues idiom. "These songs sound like classic -- matter of fact, they are!" says Chris Tomlin, Gold Record recording artist. Growing up in rural North Carolina surrounded by a musical, artistic family has lent itself to Walker's natural ability to entertain audiences with his music and the ease with which he performs. W.C. Clark, considered The Godfather of Austin's Blues scene, is featured on Walker's second album Meet Me in the Middle and believes the music is in his blood. "Seth is from a long line of great players and singers. He's rich with soul, a tasteful player and a warrior in the field." Walker has honed his skills over the years in Austin, TX, playing among the best blues musicians in the world.
Having opened shows for icons such a s Ray Charles, BB King, Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan, and Aaron Neville, Walker has established himself in the music world as a unique and compelling performer.
Walker impressed Taj Majal when he opened up for the blues legend in 2005. "He's playing some hip music, with changes and soul" he commented. "A little white Ray Charles."
Walker made his recording debut in 1997, following it with three more CDs, culminating in his eponymously titled recording debut for Jerry Hall's Pacific Blues label. Walker describes his music as "a different point of blue"-- an apt description for an artist whose songs, driving delivery and infectious down-home style resonates with emotions, beauty, power and simplicity that plays such an integral role in the appeal of traditional Blues and Roots music. Seth Walker is a huge talent, bristling with potential - a potential he fulfills with the release of "Seth Walker"
Rewind
Seth Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, not so long ago
Imagine there was never a fight
Just a feelin' that we both know
There was a time, so fine
There was no doubt
You were mine
Lovin' in rewind
To try to get back to where we were
Lovin' in rewind
Before all those foolish words
And I know there's nothin'
Up ahead for me
It is what I had with you
Lovin' in rewind
It's all I look forward to
All I look forward to
So don't look back
We'll make it better than before
Yeah, contract
Well, I know we'll find so much more
Do you remember a love so tender
But it's time we won't let it in
Never again
Lovin' in rewind
To try to get back to where we were
Lovin' in rewind
Before all those foolish words
And I know there's nothin'
Up ahead for me
It is what I had with you
Lovin' in rewind
It's all I look forward to
It's all I look forward to
And I know there's nothin'
Up ahead for me
'Cause it's what I had with you
Lovin' in rewind
Lovin' in rewind
Lovin' in rewind
Is all I look forward to
All I look forward to
I would be so glad
To have what we had all over again
[Incomprehensible]
Even better baby, hmm
Oh, start all over again
Just bring it all back to me, darlin'
Just bring it all back
One more time
Just one more time
