CHARLES WALKER
Number By Heart
ZNCD 1019

It has been said that 'soul music' as it was performed in its heyday is on its way back; For Charles Walker it never went away, it just had to be rediscovered. With a stop-start career that spans back to the end of the 50s, Charles is the real deal, a soul survivor.

Given a chance to work with such a talented and genuine performer, it was just a question of getting the feel right. But then thats what Zane is all about. For 'Number By Heart' the set up was perfect, with Producer/Guitarist Fred James at the helm, the more than solid contributions of all the studio players, and not least the total commitment of Charles to the project, it was all recorded and mixed in little over a week. Work quickly, no frills just the feel, became the mantra. The songs were selected from a clutch of new originals, along with three additional hand picked cover cuts. We all feel we have accomplished what we set out to do and set that soul revival in motion. Check it out for yourself.
