“ In any case, we have a very nice album! Nice songs, blues, Southern rock, well-found lyrics and actually no bad songs on this album ” - Harry Radstake
“That honesty is what makes "Forward" so powerful, especially for people who are going through their own turning points. It's a song for anyone who has ever chosen to grow instead of stay the same, or to go in a new direction instead of remembering the past. The Otis Walker Band offers something quietly radical in a genre built on reflection: an anthem for the future that knows exactly where it's going.”
“We started recording and releasing original music, and then we started pushing outside of North Alabama. That journey has taken us to Beale Street in Memphis, Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Chicago, and now the House of Blues in New Orleans. Our album Forward also made the national Roots Music Report Blues Rock chart and reached #1 among independent artists in Alabama.” - Voyage ATL
“Otis Walker is a premier Southern storyteller, keyboardist, and vocalist known for fusing heavy blues, NOLA funk, and raw Southern rock. ” - USA Today
“Fresh off an appearance on Fox & Friends visit to Huntsville AL, blues, funk, and Southern rock artist Otis Walker is excited to announce a unique interactive experience for his fans as he puts the finishing touches on his highly anticipated new album, set for release this November.”
“Otis Walker's music, a unique blend of styles, is something you won't want to miss. You will want to grab the LP or CD from the merch table while you are there, too. I know you will want to hear the songs repeatedly because the album is good but hearing them live is even better!” - Budd Gambrell
