Billy Walker – The Complete Recordings 1949–1965 (6-CD Box Set )

vailable again: the ultimate documentation of one of country music’s great traditionalists – Billy Walker in his complete classic phase. Bear Family Records® proudly presents this lavishly produced 6-CD boxed set containing all of Walker’s recordings from 1949 to 1965 – from his early Capitol sessions through his complete Columbia masters. More comprehensive, more carefully curated, and better sounding than ever before, this is Billy Walker in definitive form.

Born in 1929 in Ralls, Texas, Walker rose from performing at the Big D Jamboree and working with Hank Thompson to becoming a long-standing member of the Grand Ole Opry, where he remained until his untimely death. Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, he emerged as a defining voice bridging raw Texas honky-tonk and the polished Nashville Sound. His warm delivery, impeccable timing, and natural storytelling ability made him one of the era’s most respected and consistent hitmakers.

This set includes the original version of “Funny How Time Slips Away,” the #1 smash “Charlie’s Shoes,” and classics such as “Cross The Brazos At Waco,” “Willie The Weeper,” and “Thank You For Calling.” It documents Walker’s artistic evolution in full – from his early, hard-edged honky-tonk recordings to his mature Nashville productions. Alongside all the hits are rare cuts, stylistic detours, and overlooked gems that highlight his remarkable versatility and enduring appeal.

As always with Bear Family Records®, the set features meticulous research, careful restoration, and outstanding remastering from the best available sources. This is far more than a retrospective – it is the authoritative reference to Billy Walker’s most important recording years and an essential cornerstone of any serious country music collection.

Includes all Capitol and Columbia masters
Features the original “Funny How Time Slips Away” and #1 hit “Charlie’s Shoes”
Newly remastered for superior sound quality

Billy Walker

Cross The Brazos At Waco

Es sind schon viele Bücher geschrieben worden, in denen weitaus weniger passierte als in Billy Walkers Leben. Was er gesehen und miterlebt hat, würde sich bestens für die Geschichte der Nachkriegs-Country Music eignen. Er war bei der letzten Show von Hank Williams dabei und bei Elvis Presleys erstem Auftritt vor einem großen Publikum in Memphis; er wartete auf den Beginn seiner Aufnahme-Session, als vor ihm Buddy Holly Words Of Love einspielte; er verpaßte nur knapp das Flugzeug, mit dem Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas und Hawkshaw Hawkins in den Tod stürzten; und er war dabei, als Red Foley starb. Er wußte nie so recht, wie er all das einzuordnen hatte – und letztlich war all das zu mächtig, zu erdrückend, um ernsthaft darüber nachzudenken. Jetzt ist auch Billy tot. Er starb bei einem Unfall mit seinem Wagen am Sonntag, den 21. Mai 2006, in den frühen Morgenstunden auf einem Teilstück der Interstate 65 in Alabama, das auch Hank Williams Highway genannt wird.

Geboren im texanischen Ralls am 14. Januar 1929, fand Billy über Gene Autry zur Musik. Nachdem er 1947 die Schule verlassen hatte, nahm er zunächst diverse Jobs an, bevor seine Karriere begann – unter anderem im Vorprogramm des Columbia-Künstlers Jimmy Lawson 1948. Er schloß sich dem Big D Jamboree in Dallas an (wo er als The Traveling Texan auftrat und dabei eine Lone-Ranger-Maske trug), und er arbeitete für Hank Thompson in Waco, der ihm 1949 seinen ersten Plattenvertrag bei Capitol verschaffte. 18 Monate später wechselte er zum Columbia-Label. Sein erster Chart-Hit war 1954 Thank You For Calling.

Billy gehörte ab 1952 zur Louisiana Hayride, 1954 zum Ozark Jubilee; er versuchte sich kurz am Rock 'n' Roll und kehrte dann nach Texas zurück, wo er wieder in Kneipen auftrat. 1959 ging er nach Nashville zur Grand Ole Opry, wo er bis zu seinem Tod festes Mitglied blieb. Konstanter waren da schon seine Chart-Erfolge. Seine Originalversion von Funny How Time Slips Away blieb zwar noch auf Rang 23 der Country-Hitlisten hängen, doch schon mit dem Nachfolger Charlie's Shoes gelang ihm der Sprung auf Platz 1. Bis in die 80er Jahre brachte er regelmäßig weitere Songs in die Charts – seine letzten Platten erschienen auf seinem eigenen Label Tall Texan.

Ein fesselnder Erzähler mit einem unerschöpflichen Fundus an Geschichten, war Billy Walker in Nashville überaus beliebt. Er kam von einem Auftritt in Gulf Shores, Alabama, als sein Auto von der Straße abkam und sich überschlug. Mit ihm starben seine Frau Bettie und sein Freund Daniel Patton.

Bear Family Records hat eine seiner Rock 'n' Roll-Nummern im Rahmen der Serie 'That'll Flat Git It' veröffentlicht – zugleich sind bei uns seine kompletten Aufnahmen der Jahre 1949 – 1965 als 5-CD-Set 'Cross The Brazos At Waco' erschienen.
