Artist:Rhett Walker
Song:Believe
Album:Good to Me
CCM singer songwriter Rhett Walker started out with a band. But he's had more success since going solo. Believer was the first single from his 2020 solo debut Good to Me and it was a top ten Christian hit. Walker is a PK from Aiken, SC. That means his father is a preacher. So he grew up in church. He formed a band locally with Joe Kane on guitar, Kevin Whitsett on bass and Kenny Davis on drums. They signed with Sony's CCM label Essential and released two albums. Walker and Kane wrote the songs. The albums did OK but Walker wanted to do better. He decided to move with his family to Nashville. The other band members decided not to move. Whitsett is the only one of the three to remain in the music business. Walker wasn't sure if he wanted to remain in the music business. He felt that working with Nashville professionals would help him decide. He was still on Essential. For the 2020 album Good to Me, Walker wrote with various songwriters and producers. And the result was Believer reached #7 on the Christian chart. Former Abandon bassist Bryan Fowler produced Believer and wrote the song with Walker and Mitch Wong of Planetshakers. Fowler has produced hits for Ryan Stevenson and TobyMac. Walker worked with a bunch of other producers. Then Walker's 2021 single Gospel Song reached #2 on the Christian chart. There's no album for that yet but it looks like Walker is on the right track. Good to Me is available as a budget CD. Here's Rhett Walker performing Believer.
