    Chosen Line - OUT NOW

    Chosen Line is Benny Walker’s third studio album. Produced by Jan Skubiszewski and Pip Norman the album features co-writes with both producers along with musicians George Carpenter [Your Place] and Desmond Masé / Rachael Lia Carne [We're Home].

    Chosen Line is a full album experience and showcases both sides of Benny Walker. Tracks All Ya Gotta Do Is Call and I Don’t Blame You are both strong Blues bass tracks that have yielded Benny’s highest streaming figures to date. Current single We’re Home and title track Chosen Line showcase his more introverted soulful nature.

     

    "Chosen Line" could've been called "Songline" or even "Unchosen Line". The title represents my "chosen" career path. I didn't really choose it. I embraced it. I come from a long line of storytellers and musicians, and they've all had a significant impact on the person I've become and the musician that I am. I'm a Yorta Yorta man and in our culture, we would call that my Songline. Yorta Yorta visual artist, John Patten, created the album artwork taking into account my songline and the Yorta Yorta totem the long-neck turtle as well as the river that also represents the fretboard of a guitar. says Benny Walker

     

    Sarah Howells - Double J

    "I knew Benny Walker was bringing the goods with his third album, but what I didn’t expect was the versatility that it showcased.​"

     

    Forte Magazine

    "Instrumentally superb, ‘Chosen Line’ isn’t afraid to showcase just how soul touching Benny Walkers music can be."

     

    Guitar World -

    "On his smoky and raw – yet at all turns inescapably groovy – third album, Benny Walker embraces the guitar as a tool to reckon with, affirm and (most importantly) conjure emotions."

    Benny has performed alongside some of Australia’s finest, including Archie Roach, Blue King Brown, Tim Rogers and Vika and Linda Bull, and was awarded Victorian Indigenous Performing Arts Award for Best New Talent in 2012.
