Jr Walker got me, where should I begin?
Wow, so I was innocently rearranging my wardrobe, while Desperately Seeking Susan was playing in the background, idk, I was in the mood for the 80s. Then I hear this saxophone that is wailing like a guitar. I’ve never heard anything like it! The sax I’ve heard usually sounds so smooth and mellow. Jr Walker is intense and I love it.
I scrambled to find the 80s artist, only to find his career started much earlier!
What is he doing in his playing? Is he shredding? Bending? Can you do that on a sax? Crazy cool.
I don’t know what I’m doing. Which record should I listen to first? I’m into albums these days so if he has an “album experience” or concept or diarist style album, please recommend. Or just your fave! But maybe not so much a greatest hits. Though I get why they are good starter listens I outgrow too fast.
Also, I’m interested in other Motown artists with this kind of god tier sax playing.
