New CD Reviews: California I Gotta Run
Walt Cronin - California - I Gotta Run (2010)
By Bruce Greenberg - The Promise Live

On his third release Walt continues his folk/Americana singing/songwriting. A storyteller like Kris Kristoffersen, this is an album about being on the road and pursuing dreams. Nice job.

One of my favorite songs of the last decade was 2005’s A Desperate Cry for Help by the sadly rather
obscure and now disbanded alt-country group The Beauty Shop. Walt Cronin’s third album reminds me a
lot of The Beauty Shop, right down to his gravelly baritone and lovely Americana arrangements. Already in his 50s ­ this post so far seems to specialize in grey follicles ­ Cronin’s voice and sound reflect the experience of life, wistfully and defiantly. “I would never count the days of my life, but I’ll always let the dawn greet my eyes,” the former medic in the Vietnam war sings in Shining Through, one of several sweet love songs on this most appealing set.
