Butch Walker To Release Exclusive Vinyl LP 'Cassette Backs' For Record Store Day On 11/25

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Grammy nominated guitar-slinger, troublemaker, raconteur, producer, and Georgia boy Butch Walker will release an exclusive vinyl LP titled Cassette Backs for Record Store Day on November 25th. Recorded and mixed by Walker on an 80's Teac 244 4-track cassette multitrack recorder, the LP will feature unreleased demos and 4-track recordings from the Stay Gold sessions, Walker's 8th and most fully realized release yet, revealing the jubilant spirit that guided the sessions for his latest album.

Walker's 2015 release Afraid of Ghosts saw the typically buoyant rocker reveal a more subdued and vulnerable side following the passing of his father. It was a turning point for the prolific producer and songwriter as it was the first time Walker put someone else (Ryan Adams to be specific) in the drivers seat for recording. After the long tour supporting Afriad Of Ghosts, Walker was more than ready to turn it up and blow it out with Stay Gold, once again conspiring with Adams who is credited with "guitar, piano, vision, and overall album concept," much to the delight of Walker's legions of longtime fans.

Cassette Backs compiles stripped-down early versions of standout songs from Stay Gold, including a stunningly sparse version of the album's title track, alongside previously unreleased songs about hoodlum friends, exasperating kids, old times and lost loves with hints of doo wop, folk, pop, rock and everything in between. Cassette Backs is an unvarnished look at a prolific artist in full control, liberated from pretense and dedicated to the noble pursuit of Rock and Roll.
