#182 I'll Walk Away – James Hunter (2006)


 
I’ve sung the praises of James Hunter and his band many times, so I won’t repeat myself here. This ballad, with a wonderfully understated accompaniment, tells the tale of a man who pledges to make a graceful exit when (not if) his lady finally has had enough of him. It’s the best track on his People Gonna Talk album, which is saying a lot. (He actually released an earlier version of the song on Believe What I Say about a decade earlier, but the later arrangement is considerably better.)
