PT Walkley is the songwriting engine that drives the Blue Jackets, a one-man project features a rotating cast of musicians. With Walkley's meticulous touch, the Blue Jackets compose an earnest, country-tinged indie rock suitable for fans of Wilco, Golden Smog, and Pete Yorn. (Walkley, who is also known for fronting the New York City rock act Track Rabbit, has also composed songs for films by director/actor Ed Burns.) The Blue Jackets' debut album, Shadows of the City, was released during the Fall of 2006. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
