Unreleased – 2013
Comments:
Dustin Walker is a guitarist/singer/songwriter from Channahon, Illinois. He started playing guitar at age five and has been writing songs all his life. Dustin appeared in Rick Springfield’s documentary, “An Affair of the Heart” which was released in 2013.
I was originally contacted by Dustin and his Father thanks to Facebook, because they both were fans of my past work with Rick Springfield. They also heard and loved the “From The Vault” CD and wanted to reach out to express their support. Hearing about what Dustin was doing with his music, caught my curiosity so I asked them to send me some rough song ideas. I heard the potential in his voice, playing and songwriting skills, but knew he needed some artist development in order to “find” himself. This very casual “meet and greet” soon turned into me co-writing, engineering and producing 3 songs for his newly discovered artist career. I had also had the opportunity to work with Tyler Reese, the guitar player “extraordinaire” on the Hangin With Stogie project and thought that he would be a great addition to these 3 songs.
Editor’s Note:
Unfortunately, the versions of these 3 songs (samples below) remain unreleased. Although they are included on an EP the artist is currently selling, they are not Jeff Silverman’s arrangements or productions. The amazing guitar parts of Tyler Reese and George Nastos are also noticeably missing from the versions on this EP. The new version of “I Can’t Do Anything For You” does not include Rick Springfield as a special guest.
