09. The End Of The World

11. Keep On Rocking In The Free World

As previously reported, Walker has tapped Larry Welz from Cherry Comics to create the original art for Walker's upcoming solo album consisting exclusively of country and blues covers. Check out Larry's work at www.cherrypublishing.com.

"What I'm doing is kinda left of center to some extent," Walker told Decibel magazine about the upcoming CD. "It's really not that original of an idea when you consider that [SOCIAL DISTORTION frontman] Mike Ness has already done a country-hybrid album. But I don't think anyone from a background like mine has done it, and done it with a bit of respect — not turning it into a piss take."

"Welcome to Carcass Cuntry" will include contributions from H.I.M. drummer Gas, H.I.M. frontman Ville Valo (bass/backing vocals),former CARCASS guitarist/FIREBIRD frontman Bill Steer (lead guitar, harmonica, slide guitar, vocals),AMORPHIS guitarists Esa Holopainen and Tomi Koivusaari (guitars),keyboardist Santeri Kallio (keyboards) and bassist Niclas Etelävuori (bass),ex-FAITH NO MORE bassist Billy Gould, and former CARCASS drummer Ken Owen.

"I like the irony of me doing a solo album and being the most untalented person on the album," Walker joked. "I could play the instruments half-assed, but I think it's better to recognize your own failings and get someone else in who could do it better."
