David T. Walker :: Lay Lady Lay/Plum Happy 1970

In the hands of David T. Walker, "Lay Lady Lay," a cornerstone of Dylan's Nashville Skyline, slides into a jazzy, languid, space residing somewhere just shy of early 70s porn groove and after-midnight lounge. I use neither descriptor as pejorative. Found on the Tulsa-born session guitarists 1970 solo joint, Plum Happy, the track, while devoid of the original's intent, works on the same level as contemporary George Benson's become a member or log in.
