It's "Temecula Valley Tuesday" on The Dose and today I feature new music from a local entrepreneur that i have worked with in many ways. Whether it's the Heyday Concert Series here in the Temecula Valley, or with artists that Robert has worked with (like David J of Love and Rockets / Bauhaus) or as a recording and performing artist, Robert Rankin Walker has always come through with good events, experiences, and music.
Here's info on the new music release party:
Friday February 10th- An evening of LIVE MUSIC with Robert Rankin Walker & special guest Kristine Turner! Classics, 80's, 90's, Now and even some Country and Blues. NEW RELEASE PARTY
Performing Robert's new single: “BOOM BOOM” (officially out Jan 20th). Search: ROBERT RANKIN WALKER on SPOTIFY • APPLE MUSIC • YOUTUBE
Here's more info from Robert:
NEW MUSIC ANNOUNCEMENT: “BOOM BOOM, there goes my heart again.” New music for your auditory senses. I’m excited to release this single.
The main track (lead vocal and guitar) was recorded in one take on an iPhone while filming a live video I did during the Covid lockdown. NOTE: You can see the whole show on YouTube. Search: Robert Rankin Walker - The Isolation Concert.
Over time, I kept going back to this recording and was very happy with the performance, vibe and overall meaning tha the song portrayed in that show. So, as we got back to real life, I started incorporating it into my live performances. It consistently went over well and I had quite a number of people comment about the song and what it meant to me and conversely, what it meant to them. Interesting, I thought.
I took the raw, live track into my own studio and added some additional guitars; 6 String electric, 12 String acoustic as well as bass and backing vocals. Suddenly Boom Boom was really taking a shape! Still, I always love to have other artists play on my songs so I sent the tracks to the great producer / engineer / multi-instrumentalist Craig Randall who not only worked his black magic in mixing this song but also plays a fantastic keyboard on the track and shows off his “ear candy” skills by adding many other sounds and ambience to the track.
“Nothing’s changed in all these years.”
“Let’s toss our troubles overboard, and get away…and disappear. Waddaya say?”
BOOM BOOM - Official release date: January 20th, 2023 on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, etc.
In the meantime, here’s it is for my friends. Enjoy!
