A True Texas Gem

"I first heard Charlie Walker when he was a D J in San Antonio in 1950. I like his style and have this box set; play it often.Charlie will be inducted into the Texas Country Hall of Fame on August 19, 2000.He is a classic country original. Theo Blue Tiki Island, TX"
Absolutely fab, but a bit overwhelming as well...

"This box set is intriguing for a variety of reasons... mainly because it profiles a hardcore honkytonker of years gone by who fell out of the public eye a long time ago... Walker is best remembered for two big hits, "Pick Me Up On Your Way Down", which was an irresistable late-'50s smash, and "Don't Squeeze My Charmin", a less-vigorous novelty song from 1967. This is, of course, one of those anxiety-provoking, overly-definitive Bear Family fetish items: five CDs worth of Walker's material is probably too much for practically anyone, but then again, where else are you going to find this stuff? Part of the problem is that Walker himself was so stylistically limited -- his vocal range makes Ernest Tubb seem like Pavarotti, and even during his early-'60s prime, most of Walker's records sounded a lot alike. Still, when he hit his mark, he was awesome, and some of his best songs, such as 1964's "Last Call For Alcohol" never made it onto the now-scarce best-of vinyl LPs that are the only other place you can find his music these days. There are certainly a lot of gems on this set, but then again, Bear Family might do us all a big favor if, in addition to the giganto box set, they'd also put out a killer 30-song single CD collection."

"Great CD collection. I used to own most of these songs on albums a few years ago. I really like "Tell Her Lies and Feed Her Candy" and "I Wouldn't Take Her To A Dog Fight"."
