Walk on Water (Jerry Harrison album)

Walk on Water is the third album by the American musician Jerry Harrison. It was released in 1990 by Sire Records in the U.S. and Fontana Records in the UK and Europe. For the second album in a row, Harrison's backing musicians were dubbed the Casual Gods.

Harrison supported the album by touring with the Ramones, Debbie Harry, and Tom Tom Club.

Production

Alannah Currie and Tom Bailey, of Thompson Twins, contributed to the album. "I Cry for Iran" is about the Iran–Iraq War. "Cowboy's Got to Go" was influenced by Jackson Pollock.

Critical reception

The Calgary Herald wrote that "even [Harrison's] 'fun' tunes reek of academic calculation." The Chicago Tribune determined that "the Gods are a tight, funky crew capable of rocking out, playing complex solos or adding subtle sonic touches to the mix."
