UK 12-track pressing. This record is about being stuck in the ninth circle of hell with all the people who have ever knowingly betrayed you. It's about looking them in the eye and saying, 'I know what you did and I'm never going to forget it' This is the voice of Johnny Walker, doctor, anarchist and chief spokesman for Detroit's most radical blues collective, The Soledad Brothers. The record he's talking about is 'The Hardest Walk' - the band's latest and greatest studio record on Loog. A brutal break-up letter, detailing the collapse of Walker's long-term relationship, it ranks alongside such similarly-themed albums as Marvin Gaye's 'Here, My Dear' and Spiritualized's 'Ladies And Gentlemen, We're Floating In Space'. Universal. 2006.
