The Walkabouts

1993
Sub Pop

For their second 1993 album the Walkabouts turned to covering some inspirations and doing so with their exquisite skill. Many American heroes got the nod, including the Carter Family, Patti Smith, Gene Clark and Charlie Rich, the latter graced with an astonishing duet with Carla Torgerson and guest Mark Lanegan. Australia figures heavily: having long taken inspiration from the Go-Betweens, Chris Eckman delivered a stirring take on Robert Forster’s “The River People,” while Torgerson did a heartbreakingly lovely turn on Nick Cave’s “Loom of the Land.”
