Pat G'orge Walker

Five CD set. The five albums Jerry Jeff Walker recorded for ATCO and Elektra between 1968 and 1979. Inspired by Bob Dylan, a host of singer songwriters came to the fore and one of the most significant was Jerry Jeff Walker. He merged folk, country and rock and as well as writing his own classic compositions and being a natural storyteller, he encouraged young songwriters and gave many of them their own start. Garth Brooks, Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green and Jack Ingram were all inspired by him. He wasn't born Jerry Jeff Walker. Ronald Clyde Crosby was born in Oneonta, Otsego County, New York State on 16th March 1942. That's not a bad name but it's not as good as Jerry Jeff Walker. Jerry Jeff re-invented himself as a lone star Texas country rocker and today is a major figure in the Austin musical community. His most famous song is 'Mr Bojangles'. This affectionate song became a US Top 10 Hit for The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and has been recorded by Sammy Davis Jr., Nilsson, Harry Belafonte, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone and Robbie Williams. President Nixon once said it was his favourite song. This CD set also includes compositions by Kris Kristofferson, Rodney Crowell, Guy Clark, Lee Clayton and John D. Loudermilk. Trivia: 'Mr Bojangles' is NOT about Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson, a tap dancer who found fame in films with Shirley Temple, as Sammy Davis Jr. Thought.

Since the release of her first Country album, “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” in 2012, Walker has been proving herself and her talent to the tough world of Country Music. Walker has been touring with her band for a little over a year and they’ve already played some of the best stages in Texas- The San Antonio Rodeo, The Houston Rodeo, Texas Crawfish Festival, Pat Green’s Venue in Dallas- The Rustic, Sandfest, and many more. The reviews are heartfelt and consistent- “Abbi and her band keep the audience on their feet- dancing, singing along, and asking for more”. Abbi is not just a talented singer, anyone who has seen her show can tell she loves to entertain, to perform- and between her and her band, they make sure everyone, of all ages, is having a great time.
