“It wasn’t an intentional thing,” says Duff. Walking Papers have their own sound, yet there was no formula that they attempted to follow while the songs were being created and arranged. When asked how Jeff has remained in the Grunge Capitol’s shadows all of these years, Duff simply states, “I think everyone in Seattle has been asking that same question since 2000.” His songs can be described as bluesy, rocking, and often dark and foreboding, give Walking Papers their unique musical personality and persona. Jeff was a relatively unknown songwriter outside of his home area of Seattle. It is not just the huge names on the album that make this one special however, it is Jeff Angell’s songs. One of those ‘other guys’ Duff is speaking of is none other than Grunge hero and Pearl Jam guitarist Michael McCready, who makes a guest appearance on Walking Papers lead single “The Whole World’s Watching” and on the song “I’ll Stick Around.” It felt so good playing in a rhythm section with Barrett that I stayed.” They started to call a bunch of us different guys to play on the record. I first got to jam with Barrett in the mid-90s, as I had met him through Mark Lanegan when I had played on his record Field Songs, at the time. One may wonder how such a diverse group of musicians could ever end up together, yet, as McKagan explains, the music business can be rather incestuous, “Seattle is a rather small, insular, and tight music community. When Duff heard the music that was being made by these two creative juggernauts, he joined the group, as did keyboardist Benjamin Anderson, bringing the one-time two man crew to a foursome. Walking Papers had life before Duff, as originally, they were a duo consisting of Barrett Martin of ‘Screaming Trees’ fame and Seattle songwriter Jeff Angell. In fact, he has now joined a Seattle band called Walking Papers that has recently released their debut, self-titled album on the Loud & Proud record label. Still, music is his first love, but he is not content to be in just one band. While he is best known for being a member of the bands Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, he is also a real life economist, a songwriter and a journalist. There is much more to Duff McKagan than meets the eye.
