The Deli NYC
PT Walkley’s soft vocals make for an intimate musical experience. His debut album, Mr. Macy Wakes Alone is a charming medley of whimsical tunes that piece together to create an all-inclusive work. Sure the songs are great on their own, but the way Walkley molds each song together creates a perfect storybook…
Other Music
We have always loved Other Music, whenever you go there you are bound to find something new and exciting. The music is great the staff is great – it is a record store that stays on the cutting edge. So we celebrated when they said they would carry LP’s and CD’s of “Mr. Macy Wakes Alone” … and we went all out crazy when they reviewed the album.
From sunshine pop to honky-tonk, skiffle to tin-pan alley to three-chord rock and roll, the group effortlessly and convincingly swings through it all, and centered around Walkley’s rich but raw singing, remarkably still sounds like a pop band rather than a manufactured studio project. Fans of ’60’s/’70’s orch-pop, take heed, this is your man

In a day and age of singles and standout tracks filling Billboard charts, a concept record like Mr. Macy Wakes Alone could be risky.

Live Show Review from Filter Magazine
It is reviews like this that make us want to get out there and do it again, and again, and again…
Perhaps the most versatile musician I’ve seen in concert, Walkley’s voice changed drastically from song to song. Setting the bar well beyond most musicians these days, Walkley begs the listener to pay attention to every detail of his performance and album as the recurring themes and characters only make sense when listening cover to cover… it would behoove every music lover to give him a listen.

Popwreck(oning) Review
From the moment the string quartet began sawing away during “Introduction”, the beginning track to PT Walkley’s new album, Mr. Macy Wakes Alone, it is blatant that this is not your usual acoustic sing-a-long. Although Walkley is far from unbeknown to the music industry, this album is ultimately definitive of his excellence as a singer, songwriter, and recording artitst

Check out our review featured in CMJ New Music First
The vibrant strings of the introductory song are an early indication of the album’s musical expansiveness. Walkley’s song structures are widely arrayed, as he creates a unique soundscape to compliment each track…
Feeling the love from NPR
Read the entire article at NPR but here is a little taste…
The character descriptions are so colorful and the instrumentation so whimsical that Mr. Macy Wakes Alone could easily be adapted for the stage…PT Walkley expertly matches the dark and satirical plot elements with equally romantic string arrangements, eerily jubilant choral vocals, and brass interludes.
