Austin Walkin' Cane Record Release

n prepping for his latest studio album, Austin Walkin’ Cane • Muscle Shoals, local singer-songwriter Austin Walkin’ Cane went to FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL, the place where Aretha Franklin, Solomon Burke and the Allman Brothers had recorded. He approached the session as a live gig and played whatever he felt like playing — not that there's anything wrong with that. After he got home, Cane realized he had done a few too many covers, so he went to Don Dixon’s studio in Canton to record a few more tunes that show up on the terrific LP. He plays a release party tonight at 8 at the Beachland Ballroom. Alex Bevan opens. Tickets cost $15.
