My Take
Butch Walker is one of music's great chameleons, and I'm a little obsessed with that. He came up fronting glam-metal SouthGang, reinvented himself with the power-pop band Marvelous 3, then became a go-to producer shaping records for huge pop and rock acts. Now he's playing lead guitar in Train. That's an absurd, admirable range. What I love is that he never seems to chase trends so much as absorb and reroute them. The Georgia roots and the willingness to keep starting over give him a craftsman's restlessness. Underappreciated as an artist, indispensable behind the boards.
