Context
Released in 1994, 'Walk On' was Boston's third studio album, arriving after a lengthy hiatus following their 1986 release, 'Third Stage.' The band faced challenges during this period, including the death of founder Tom Scholz's longtime collaborator, Brad Delp, which influenced the album's emotional depth. This record marked a return to the charts for Boston, reestablishing their presence in the hard rock scene.
