Track 1) Spare a Little Pity: Up-tempo lament on being single and lonely
Track 2) (It'a A) Long Way To Go: Classic Chicago style 12 bar blues- fun harp solo
Track 3) My Rockin' Chair: Rockin Rolling homage to the humble rocking chair, extolling its virtues and utility in the song writing process
Track 4) No Good Deed: Builds on the classic Motif of a Lover done wrong, a bit more Rock & Roll than blues reminiscent of blues based bands like the Stones and the original Fleetwood Mac
Track 5) Someday: Loss and longing for the days that created youthful memories and a longing for those days
Track 6) Fire In The Forest: Dark swampy guitar hard driving tale of the devastation brought about by wildfires
Track 7) In The Don Valley: Shows off Walters skill as a storyteller in this tongue in cheek tune about an encounter with Bigfoot
Track 8) Mmm Mmm Mmm: remenicent of the 1920's & 30's dancehall tunes, feels like Walters is channeling the spirit of Leon Redbone on this one and Redbone is coming through loud and clear
Track 9) Need A New Way Of Living: A fun take on changing up your life
Track 10) We'll Have A Party: Slows things down again in the post pandemic tribute to getting back the things that were lost, time with friends & family, celebrating those who made it out the other side and remembering those who were lost.
