BEST OF ARTIST, July 6, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Ended Up a Stranger (Audio CD)
I really love the Walkabouts import only NIGHTTOWN, which I thought was their absolute best work... Until I heard ENDED UP A STRANGER. No one does a better job of wedding atmosphere and great songs than the Walkabouts. The Tindersticks and Cowboy Junkies may walk similar streets but the Rue de Walkabouts is a unique moody, cinematic strasse illuminated by the twin beacons of Carla Torgerson and Chris Eckman who bathe listeners in the exquisite shadow and light of wonderfully orchestrated songs. Call it fate that they haven't yet developed the sizeable audience here that they enjoy in Europe. There is hardly anyone who makes more haunting, achingly beautiful music...
