Since the release of their debut album 'The Gousters' in 2005, Walt Cronin and Zander Schloss have unfortunately gone their separate ways. This CD written and sung by Cronin has many of the elements of the first CD. 'It is definitely in the folk americana tradition,' says Marty Beal, the producer and arranger of Walt's CD from the Racketroom in Santa Ana, CA where all the recording took place.

Marty wore many hats in this musical composition playing most of the instruments while guiding Walt with his invaluable feedback. Walt, the singer/songwriter on this, his self-titled CD has created his own unique individualistic style that is the result of many influences mainly from 60's folk music with a contemporary folk rock feel.

Many of the songs reflect Walt's experiences as a medic with the Marines he served with in Vietnam and it's aftermath. Staying true to the folk history of societal woes with some bright new tunes finish off this eclectic blend of strong lyrical content and melodies.
