In Brief
Like the great Western plains this veteran Texas troubadour often rhapsodizes about, there’s an openness in everything Walser does that’s so utterly complete and natural that it’s awe-inspiring. Want hip? He’s backed brilliantly on the heart-wrenching “Rose Marie” by the Kronos Quartet. Hey, if Junior Brown can make it, why not this yodeling fool? Walser plays Tuesday at Jacks Sugar Shack.
