Chris Eckman is one of those songwriters with the flair of an alchemist. He has proven this over the years as a songwriter for Seattle rock-folk band The Walkabouts, as well as in his acclaimed six-album solo career. His songs have been recorded by Townes Van Zandt, Steve Wynn, Willard Grant Conspiracy (and others), and his latest album, the sparse, ghostly Where the Spirit Rests, won the prestigious German Record Critics’ Award in 2021.
Three and a half years later, he’s back with “The Land We Knew the Best” and has new stories to tell.
