  • Description

    "I'm Walkin Here" is the latest album from Rab Noakes, his 19th solo release represents, in many ways, a narrative containing references to his whole working life as a songwriter and performer.

    He refers to it as 21st-century skiffle. It is a Double-CD with CD1 consisting of a clutch of Rab Noakes songs written within a fairly close space of time. CD2 contains songs from a variety of sources from traditional to Elizabeth Cotten to Michael Marra to Beck Hansen to the group Garbage plus some more Noakes compositions.

    The recording was made, mostly live in the studio, with people playing in a room together. John Cavanagh, producer, captured the performances. A few instruments were over-dubbed including additional guitar parts. Most of those extra guitar parts were played by Rab himself on a variety of instruments.
    Rab said at the outset of the recordings that he wanted to make an album that nobody else could make. He made that comment with regard to the reference points and to the combination of experience and circumstance that make up its uniqueness.

    This is an album full of heartfelt renditions of first-rate songs. It is possibly Rab's best but that's for you to decide. It certainly hangs together as an album and contains some outstanding performances.
