The Butanes

Willie Walker and the Butanes
Memphisapolis
Haute 1110

Willie Walker and the Butanes are pleased to announce the release of their second collaboration, Memphisapolis. Memphisapolis, contains 13 original tracks featuring 4 horns, lady background singers and real Hammond organ.

Soul like it used to be done, one part church, one part barbecue, one part groove-dripping sweat.

Willie Walker and the Butanes
Right Where I Belong
One On One 761955

Willie Walker and the Butanes record 14 original compositions that sound like they could have been from an unreleased Goldwax records session. A horn section and female chorus join with Willie's exceptional vocals on this new recording of the year contender.

It's the kind of album the worst nit-picker can't find one thing wrong with. Except that eventually it's over.

Self titled
Haute 1108

Willie's first CD collects material he recorded in the late 80's with keyboardist Bruce Pedalty, in the 90's with Canoise as well as in the new millenium with a throng of his friends -including the Butanes' own Jim Greenwell and Curt Obeda. These 15 tracks are Willie's first released recordings since he cut for the Goldwax label in the 60's.

Walker has a classic, soul-tenderized voice that rises above any occasion
