Keep your eye on Luke Walton

September 6th, 2007
Luke Walton

At the risk of stating the obvious, there's a reason that in sports special considerations are given to rookies whose performances exceed expectations. And that even most #1 draft picks can expect to be riding the pine in big spots. Raw skill can take you pretty far, but when push comes to shove, there's no substitute for experience.

The potential that surprising young talent can always be lurking around the next corner is perhaps Amie Street's most thrilling quality. And discovering an artist like Luke Walton, whose picture you might find in the dictionary next to the definition of "potential," never ceases to satisfy. Listen closely and you might hear the sound of a pick striking the guitar body after an overzealous strum (a sound I actually love), or a moment or two when the layered tracks fail to gel. But you'll surely also marvel at the arrangement of Play Button Prelude , and the strength and conviction in Luke's voice in Play Button One Take

Long story short, I agree with Bankit2's assessment from a REC for Play Button Who Needs Tears :"This kid's gonna be real good in a few years." Much like an exceptional rookie season, Luke Walton's

EP isn't a masterpiece. It still sounds a bit uneven at points. But it's an extremely promising offering with a few great songs. Check it out, and let the nearly 50 RECs he's already accumulated be your guide.

    Luke is definetly the most talented undiscovered artists out there. I am his self proclaimed #2 fan (second to his sister), and I encourage all to get his CD! You will be so glad you did! I am!! He is talented, good looking, and a great person to be around! You don’t see that in many artists nowadays. His music is from the heart, and you can totally tell from every strum of the guitar! Keep it up Luke! You’re gonna go far!!!
