Summary

On his stellar new album, 'Gotta Get Back,' Seth Walker excavates the roots of his love affair with music, by reuniting the family that helped spark the fire in him all those years ago. Walker, who grew up on a multi-family commune in North Carolina, gathered his sister along with his parents, who had been divorced for 20 years, to record the album's beautiful, sweeping string parts, all of which were arranged by his father. Produced by The Wood Brothers' drummer/keyboardist Jano Rix and recorded primarily at Zac Brown's Southern Ground studio in Nashville, 'Gotta Get Back' is a crowning achievement in Walker's celebrated career.
