Doc Walker - Doc Walker

Like Blue Rodeo crossed with Barenaked Ladies, Winnipeg’s Doc Walker serves up twanging country-rock with a twist of feel-pop pop. Lead singer Chris Thorsteinson even sounds like the Ladies’ Ed Robertson. Still, the group has built a strong following among country-loving hosers and its third album, featuring yearnin’ singles like “Trying to Get Back to You,” will go down well with that crowd. In a nod to its Prairie roots, the band also collaborates with legend Randy Bachman and covers Neil Young’s “Come a Time.”
