The Walkabouts is an American rock band formed in Seattle in 1984. The core members are vocalist Carla Torgerson and vocalist and songwriter Chris Eckman. Although the rest of the line-up has changed occasionally, for most of the time the other members have been Michael Wells, Glenn Slater and Terri Moeller. The band draws inspiration from folk and country music, particularly Townes Van Zandt, Neil Young and Johnny Cash, but also from other types of artists and musical styles such as Scott Walker, Leonard Cohen, French chanson and Jacques Brel. Their sound is typically rich, with string arrangements and keyboards in addition to the standard rock instruments. In reviews the band's music is often described as melancholic or mellow, while Eckman's lyrics, concerning such themes as human relations, loneliness and restlessness, are often emphasized as poetic. 1988 See Beautiful Rattlesnake Gardens 1990 Rag & Bone 1991 Scavenger 1993 New West Motel 1993 Satisfied Mind 1994 Setting the Woods on Fire 1996 Devil's Road 1996 Death Valley Days: Lost Songs and Rarities, 1985-1995 1997 Nighttown 1999 Trail of Stars 2000 Train Leaves At Eight 2001 Ended Up A Stranger 2002 Drunken Soundtracks 2002 I'm Sorry 2003 Emona - Live In Ljubljana,26-01-2002 2003 Slow Days With Nina 2005 Acetylene 2005 No You Won't Extra Chris & Carla [1993-2003] Solo [200-2004]
