Шаблон:Infobox album

Course in Fable is the sixth solo studio album by American musician Ryley Walker. It was released on April 2, 2021, through Walker's own Husky Pants Records. The album was produced by John McEntire (of Tortoise and the Sea and Cake). The album combines the folk rock elements of Walker's previous albums with elements of progressive rock and art rock.

Critical reception to Course in Fable was positive, with many critics praising its deviation from Walker's previous albums, integration of prog rock elements, and stylistic diversity.[1][2][3] In 2022, Walker released Course in Fable Demos and Extras, consisting of outtakes and alternate versions of the album's material.

Reception

Course in Fable has received positive reviews from critics; on Metacritic, which assigns a normalized score out 100 to ratings from publications, the album received a weighted mean score of 84 based on 10 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[4]

AllMusic's Timothy Monger awarded the album four stars out of five, feeling it contains "some of his [Walker's] most intricate and satisfying solo material to date."[5] Monger highlighted the album's production and melding of indie rock and progressive rock, while also noting Walker's "increasing confidence as an ace bandleader."[5] The site would go on to include Course in Fable in their singer-songwriter "Best of 2021" list.[6] Josh Sand of Beats Per Minute gave the album a 76% rating, feeling it showcases Walker's "dual reputations as a singer/songwriter and prolifically-collaborating guitarist."[7] Sand felt that the album could help to combat what he identified as stagnancy in modern progressive rock, stating "Course in Fable presents a vision of how progressive rock can contribute to music past its initial decades."[7] Sand also noted that "Walker doesn’t see intricacy and gratification as mutual exclusives", feeling that the music "rewards attentive listening without its depth getting in the way of its charms on a passive background listen."[7]
