Andy talks about the tracks on FLAMETHROWER: The title track “is about a total geek guy gear head who’s obsessed with WWII-era flamethrowers and spends most of his spare time shooting, repairing and cleaning them. He also uses his flamethrowers in occasional paintball tournaments!;” “Hard Hearted Woman” is “about a mean selfish woman;” “Too Long In The City” details “too many people staying too long in the city, acting weird, stuck in traffic, texting people constantly, etc.;” “With The Band” is about “no matter how bad things get, I always get happy playing with my band;” “Who’s That Knocking” is “about a guy who hears someone knocking on his girlfriend’s door;” and “Baby Please Don’t Go” is “a traditional blues song about a guy’s girlfriend wanting to move down to New Orleans looking for ‘work’.”
FLAMETHROWER was recorded, mixed and mastered at Bueno Studios. Andy Walo Trio are Andy Walo (guitars/vocals/bass); Roger Bueno (bass); and Rena’ Beevers (drums). Walo was recently nominated in “Best Blues Group or Artist” and “Best Guitarist” categories for the 5th Annual South Bay Music Awards.
