Ryley Walker Announces New Album & Shares Single

Singer-songwriter Ryley Walker will release a new album Golden Sings That Have Been Sung via Dead Oceans on August 19. Fellow Chicagoan and former member of Wilco multi-instrumentalist LeRoy Bach produced and appears on the new LP.

The 26-year-old guitarist’s third solo album follows-up last year’s Primrose Green and his instrumental collaboration with Chicago-based guitarist Bill MacKay Land of Plenty. Walker enlisted Primrose Green musicians including guitarist Brian Sulpizio, keyboardist Ben Boye, bassist Anton Hatwich, drummer Frank Rosaly and vocalist Whitney Johnson, as well as drummers Quin Kirchner and Ryan Jewell to record Golden Sings That Have Been Sung.
