"Walking in London" is the fourth studio album by the American alternative rock band Concrete Blonde, released in 1992. The album showcases the band's eclectic mix of rock, punk, and folk influences, combined with introspective lyrics and powerful vocals from lead singer Johnette Napolitano.
The album features a diverse range of musical styles, from the haunting ballad "Caroline" to the energetic rock anthem "Ghost of a Texas Ladies' Man." Lyrically, the songs explore themes of love, loss, and longing, with Napolitano's evocative storytelling drawing listeners into vividly painted scenes of urban life.
Standout tracks include the title track "Walking in London," which captures the restless energy of the city streets, and "Someday?" with its anthemic chorus and driving rhythm. The album's production, overseen by Chris Tsangarides, is polished yet retains the raw intensity that Concrete Blonde is known for.
"Walking in London" received positive reviews from critics upon its release and achieved moderate commercial success. It remains a fan favorite and a testament to Concrete Blonde's enduring influence in the alternative rock scene of the 1990s.
