It was only recently however that he made the leap from musicals to songwriting, and he released his debut album, &#8216;The Guilty Party&#8217;, in 2013, followed by &#8216;People Going Somewhere&#8217;, in 2016, and his 2018 EP, &#8216;You And I&#8217;, the latter two of which were met with excellent reviews.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Welcome To The Edge Times&#8217; is a compendium of songs written and recorded by Walker while on the road touring with &#8216;Hamilton&#8217;, as well as in places he&#8217;s lived over the past few years, such as London, LA, and New York. The tracks are in real singer-songwriter style and make you wonder why it took so long for him to realise that this is an area where his talents lay; sure he&#8217;s been singing on stage, but the pure emotion he puts into his own compositions, such as the very Nilsson-like &#8216;Like A Rose&#8217;, could just as easily have come from &#8211; well, Nilsson himself, or the likes of seminal Irish artist Glen Hansard. There&#8217;s also an almost 60s vibe to the track which calls to mind the likes of The Byrds, and, even early Beatles, or The Who. What there&#8217;s absolutely no doubt about is that Walker is a formidable talent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Welcome To The Edge Times&#8217; is set for release on October 25.
