Description
BBC Folk Awards nominee Dan Walsh is releasing his first full studio album of original material since 2019 - and it's been described as among the best of his career so far.
The internationally-lauded banjo player, guitarist, songwriter and vocalist releases At The Station via Rooksmere Records on 15th May. It promises striking melodies, a good-time country influence, and a brand-new, full band sound - all built around his virtuosic musicianship.
"I have always loved artists like Alison Krauss & Union Station and Nickel Creek," says Walsh. "And on this album I've given a nod to those inspirations, put them alongside some pretty funky instrumental work, and written what I think may be some of my best songs yet."
With songs that are at times topical, tackling everything from the fate of the high street to the importance of funding the arts, and at others emotive - including heartfelt tributes to friends lost and an instrumental inspired by Walsh's young daughter, Heidi - At The Station will be a red-letter moment for fans of Walsh, for folk and roots music aficionados, and for all lovers of the highest quality songwriting.
Walsh's first studio album proper since 2019's Trio, At The Station presents twelve tracks that range from bluegrass-style hoedowns such as closing barnstormer "Move Away", to more expansive contemporary folk in instrumentals such as the pyrotechnic displays of "Acoustic Circus".
Range is the record's watchword, which is enhanced throughout by Nic Zuppardi's mandolin, fiddle from Niles Krieger of IBMA favourites The Often Herd, and the Jaywalkers' Lucy Williams on upright bass.
