Live from the Artists Den: Mayer Hawthorne - 'The Walk'

Episode Description: "This is a secret show, right?," said Mayer Hawthorne at the start of his Live from the Artists Den taping. "Well, tonight, the secret word is fun." He kept his word for the next 90 minutes, as he blazed through two dozen songs in his updated classic soul style, infused with everything from doo-wop to hip-hop. The setting was the opulent Grand Ballroom of the Park Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, where Hawthorne and his nimble band, The County, thrilled an invitation-only crowd of 400. Filmed for a future episode of the public television series, the set featured selections from Hawthorne's acclaimed new album, How Do You Do, plus such fan favorites as "Green Eyed Love."

I am a lifelong singer and musician. This song acquainted me with Mayer Hawthorne. He can change his voice with ease, and if you aren't watching, you think it is another singer ! Great song ! I do prefer the version with lyrics appropriate for everyone .

Wow, I loved this song the very first time I heard it on 92.5. Reminds me of some good old Motown music!!!

I am a proud baby boomer and rarely venture past the 60s and 70s (most of today’s club shit is pathetic). But I must say this kid can play.

This music is upbeat and catchy and fun with rhythm . I hope other artists follow his lead with music like this. It's nice to music with no killing or profanity or anger against anyone

He went back to the 80's Elvis Costello, I heard the hit on the low rider hits loved it! 80's British Invasion, or the 60's soul! Buddy holly too!

[drmayne]

lol the "West side walk it wou East SIde Walk it out" speaks of the era, I think Walk it out was like a few years before this.

[Impsterettes]

It's a backing track that they play for smaller venues. They only bring out the horn section for bigger shows.
