Upon it’s release, Gotta Get Back debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Blues Album Chart and made it’s way to the Top 10 on the Americana Radio Chart. No Depression praised, “”…an album flush with fully invested emotion and the craft and consistency to match,” while AllMusic attested, “After a series of releases spanning nearly 20 years that have branched out from blues into R&B, country, pop, gospel, jazz, and more, singer, songwriter, and guitarist Seth Walker offers perhaps his most eclectic album to date…”
Recorded predominantly at Zac Brown’s Southern Ground studio in Nashville, the new album was produced by Jano Rix of The Wood Brothers and features Chris and Oliver Wood on bass and backing vocals, respectively. For Walker, this record was all about getting back to the roots of why he started playing music in the first place, and so he invited his sister and parents to record the record’s sweeping string parts, all of which were arranged by his father.
