Synopsis

Album Description
Never Better, is Greg Walker?s most anticipated solo project. Greg?s vocals speak straight to the soul. In the words of Carlos Santana: "Greg Walker?s music is a wonderful combination of street and church music; ?street? being raw, sexy, warm and naked; ?church? being spiritual, inspirational, soulful and sincere." Critics and reviewers have , at various times described Walker?s music as "electrical, gospel-tinged, incomparable and seductive". After one of Greg?s solo performances, one critic?s headline said it all: "Walker Breaks Down Musical Walls", and indeed he does. This incredible, mellow, but tantalizing album takes the listener to so many places?.. from the playful rhythms and impressions of the world?s realities in "So Much Better" to the beautiful melodic lines of "Old Fashioned Love". The many rhythmic nuances take you where ballads seldom go. Greg Walker shows that he is not only a globally acclaimed vocalist, but a terrific song-writer and producer as well. Then there is the delicacy of the romantic "Every Day of My Life": a love song, that we?ll be hearing at wedding festivities during the years to come. The groove of "Just Not Me" excites with jazzy vocal gymnastics by this world class artist?.. The surprising "Never Felt Like This" has sensual moves that stir the soul and as we hear, the audience as well?. The pleading "Wait ?Til Tomorrow" has the visual strength and musical style of a great movie soundtrack. "Nothing You Can Do" has a sexy undulating sway that is hypnotic. Walker shines when he does the delicate and! catchy ballad "Anything", and continues with the playfully festive Caribbean rhythms of "Showed Me That You Love Me". He does not hold back when he sings "Dear Mother"?? and ends with the majestic "Old Fashioned Love"?..

Living legend
dadof3musketeers | The Netherlands | 10/21/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'm very happy to have had the opportunity not only to purchase this record in the Netherlands (at the Preuvenemint-festival), but also to have the luck to meet Greg Walker in person. This artist, who already is a legend for his contribution to the history of music as lead singer for Santana (for more than a decade), now proves he's not only magical as a vocalist/performer but is also superb in writing, arranging and producing his own songs. Yes, his own songs are not comparable to his work with Santana but they are absolutely not less enjoyable. Songs writting for a special night, a special person or a special occasion, Greg add's his gentle, spiritual, inspirational and soulful voice to sensitive, sensual and carribean rhythms. Like Marvin Gaye and Barry White, Greg Walker understands the importance of melodic beauty, lyrical sensitivity, and sheer sensuality.
My advice: lite a candle, play Greg Walkers CD "Never Better" and your romantic night will be perfect..."

"Never Better has some great tracks. The opening cut is upbeat and bright. CD includes an exciting live track from Greg in concert, and the revamped previously released single - Dear Mother, My Friend sparkles"
