Delightfully insightful songwriter Marilyn Walker is back with a new full-length album recorded live at The End music venue in Lafayette, Colorado. Marilyn likes to say that if she were a brand, it would be the local farmer’s market, reflecting her love of community and sustainability. The title track, Boulder Baby Boomer, is “Both a poke at our community as well as a response to all the ‘Hey boomers’ out there. We may be older than them, but we have plenty to contribute.” In her intro to Back in the Day, Marilyn explains that the evening’s theme is “bipolar,” covering both ends of the spectrum of emotions. From the sublimely funny Too Much Stuff and It Wasn’t Decaf to the devastating realities of a missing girl child of a single mother (Waiting for Marie) to a 14 year old girl separated from her family and locked in a cage (Before I Turn 15), no topic is off limits. Backed by Dawnia Dresser on vocals and Julian Peterson on guitar and vocals, Marilyn combines her sweet “girl next door” voice with her own playing on guitar, ukelele, and keyboard. Boulder Baby Boomer showcases Marilyn’s delicious stage presence and storytelling brilliance in front of a live audience. Marilyn’s songs, as a whole, are a love song to the world, an invitation to sit up and pay attention to all that is happening. Boulder Baby Boomer is a sampling of this delicious concoction. Strap in and enjoy the ride!
Boulder Baby Boomer was recorded and engineered by John Remington of Dog House Music and Remington Music, and mastered by Anna Frick of Ally Sound. All songs written by Marilyn Walker; publishing rights by Fresh Produce Music, LLC. Vocals and instrumentals by Marilyn Walker, with support from Dawnia Dresser and Julian Peterson as noted.

Since You've Been Gone
Marilyn Walker
Since You've Been Gone" emerged as a spontaneous piece of music, dropping into my consciousness with the first line: "I bought a half-baked ham at the Dollar Store, a loaf of shoes at the five and dime," complete with its melody and underlying jazz chords. I instantly loved it, finished the first verse, and shared it with friends. Their comment that it reminded them of John Prine (YES!) motivated me to finish writing the song.
The song is a nod to the torch jazz tradition, which centers on the phrase "to carry a torch for someone." "Since You've Been Gone" captures the profound sense of groundlessness that follows the loss of a loved one, though I intentionally leave the nature of that loss open for the listener to interpret. Notable torch jazz artists include Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday.
Astounding jazz pianist and Colorado Music Hall of Fame member Eric Gunnison plays piano on this single. I was thrilled to see him transform my simple chord progression into the glorious piano part you hear. The track is further enhanced by bowed bass from Bradley Morse and percussion by Christian Teele. It's a departure from my usual work—so much so that my friends joke it's my new alter ego: "Marilyn at 5."
