Alonewalk is the third album released by Dave Couse since the breakup of A House, his second on 1969 Records. It was mastered by Bob Ludwig and features a duet with Cathal Coughlan on the song "Good Friday". Coughlan's vocal was recorded in his own studio in London and Couse and Coughlan didn't meet during the recording of the song.[3] The album was released online on Good Friday (April 2) in 2010 and on compact disc in October 2010.[4]
Nick Kelly, writing for The Irish Independent described the album as "a total revelation ... the sound of an artist changing and maturing".[5] Hot Press described it as "a lush, beautiful sounding album".[6] Tony Clayton-Lea writing for The Irish Times characterised the album as "a songwriter getting to grips ... with nitty-gritty subjects in a reflective, almost sombre (but always compelling) manner".[1]
