Podcast Episode Summary
Walt Cronin's release of California I Gotta Run, his third album, follows 2005's The
Gousters and 2008's somewhat redundantly titled Walt Cronin - The Gousters. As with
the previous records, California I Gotta Run features a spectrum of Americana/folk
influences: Walt proudly emulates the tradition of his heroes such as Pete Seeger, Bob
Dylan, The Byrds, John Prine and Steve Earle. As an artist, Walt came into his own at
the tender age of 50. A lifetime of experiences (including a stint as a medic during the
Vietnam War and a subsequent semi-nomadic life) provide ample inspiration for subject
matter in the numerous songs in his repertoire. This song " No Shame In Cryin" is a heartfelt song about an older veteran talking to the new generation of returnees."
