Walk On is the fourth studio album by American band Boston, released in 1994. (See 1994 in music). Walk On is the first and only Boston album to lack Brad Delp as vocalist, as he had left the band in his stint with RTZ. He returned to Boston on the Corporate America album.
The final eight pages of the album's booklet are titled "Walk On -- Against Violence and Cruelty" and are dedicated to preventing Domestic Abuse and Animal Crueltly, providing contact information of numerous organizations, including The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and The Humane Society. The band would do similarly in their next album.
The Walk On album peaked at #7 on The Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum(1 million copies sold) by the RIAA despite the fact that there was no promotion or tour to support the album and grunge and gangsta rap were pretty much dominating the charts.
