Peter Walker is an American guitarist with a deep fluency in the flamenco, classical, and raga styles. He emerged from the 1960s folk scene, where he was one of the notable guitarists who mingled in the circles that included legends like Tim Buckley and Karen Dalton. Throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, Walker's music resonated with the cultural quest for expansion and exploration, contributing to the era's fascination with Eastern musical traditions and the acoustic guitar's expressive potential.

Walker's album "Second Poem To Karmela" Or Gypsies Are Important, released in 1969, remains a cherished repository of his distinctive style, blending traditional flamenco techniques with Eastern modalities and free-flowing improvisational talent. After a lengthy retreat from the music industry, he reemerged with "Echo of My Soul" in 2008, reaffirming his status as a virtuoso guitarist and a pioneer in world music influences. Subsequent releases like "Long Lost Tapes 1970" and "Lachesis / Clotho / Atropos" dug deeper into his rich archive of musical works, while showcasing an artist whose skills have continued to mature over time, yet stay vibrantly connected to the musical zeitgeist of his early career.
