Episode 126: The Walker Brothers

This week we’re discussing every album by the Walker Brothers. Made up of core members Scott, John, and Gary Walker (their last names are Walker in the same vein as the Ramones), the Walker Brothers began as a baroque pop, country western-influenced cover band in the 60s. Their hits “Make It Easy on Yourself” and “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” are gut-wrenching ballads that everyone should hear. However, their last album is entirely original and takes the band in an insane and unexpected direction.

Closing track: “The Electrician” from Nite Flights (1978)
