The title track, &#8220;Why The Worry,&#8221; was inspired by a Willie Nelson quote about worry being a needless emotion. Walker&#8217;s responded with a song that ask why we allow ourselves to worry instead of learning to let worry slide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walker describes the record as a largely unplanned, organic project, created by casually \u201ckicking around\u201d songs with his band in a comfortable Nashville studio, which resulted in a relaxed, unhurried sound that calms even Walker. The album mixes originals with well-loved covers reflecting the relaxed nature of the sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So set aside your worry and catch  Seth Walker live in Columbus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or wallow in anxiety.
