Jerry Jeff Walker has been introduced as a man who has broken more new ground in the field of having fun than anyone else, but his indelible mark on the world of country music goes far further than that. Known for his popular hit “Mr. Bojangles” which has been covered by nearly four dozen artists from all musical genres, Walker has always brought his own brand of folk rock to traditional country music. With songs shot through with a touch of the “outlaw,” from rowdy odes to drinking to mournful ballads for a misspent life, Walker has influenced a generation of musicians and earned himself a crowd of dedicated fans.

“Walker has an extraordinary songwriting range, which runs the gamut from lusty barroom sing-alongs to poignant ballads.” -- New York Times
