Walker was a DMB fan growing up in Rockford, Illinois, so this is a loving interpretation, with not a wink of parody intended. Tucked inside that venerable assemblage was a song by the Dave Mathews Band, a nod to Walker’s latest project, The Lillywhite Sessions (due out in November), a song-for-song interpretation of Matthews’ unfinished-but-widely bootlegged LP of the same name from around 2000. Walker recently showed off his Deep Nineties erudition with a Spotify playlist called “van jams,” complete with songs by the likes of Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, Bailter Space and Gastr Del Sol, along with bedrock stuff like R.E.M.
Walker delivers a powerful, heartfelt meditation on the twists and turns of an individual’s musical journey across a life of enthusiastic and curious listening.

Ryley Walker is a fluid guitar player whose songs rarely take you in any expected direction and a proud torch-bearer for the vaunted croon-through-your-beard school of indie-rock singer-songwriters. His very fine 2018 LP Deafman Glance is definitely worth your time, setting warmly abstruse mumblings to delicate avant-woodsy guitar magic, updating the Nineties experimentalism of David Grubbs, Jim O’Rourke and Smog’s Bill Callahan the way those guys modernized John Fahey, Sandy Bull and Michael Hurley for the post-Slint era. Ryley Walker Course In Fable Husky Pants Records 2021 Ryley Walker has walked an interesting musical path since his last solo release of Deafman Glance in 2018 but more importantly he is celebrating a new beginning of sorts in 2021 with sobriety after a long time of addiction and a suicide attempt in 2019. Chicago experimentalist Ryley Walker reimagines Dave Matthews Band’s lost 2001 album The Lillywhite Sessions in full for a new era.
