RYLEY WALKER
INTERVIEW
Somewhere on the road to Atlanta, Ryley Walker is newly awake in the back of his van. “I had collard greens and fried chicken and biscuits for lunch,” he says blurrily. “And then I kept dozing off.” Walker is in the midst of touring his fifth album, Deafman Glance, when we speak. It’s a tour that will take him through the southern United States and on through a glut of European festivals and club dates. “Man, I love touring,” he says. “It’s always a good opportunity to get out and see the world and get to play your tunes at the same time.”
