Jerry Jeff Walker Artist Snapshot:

Jerry Jeff Walker would have achieved pop music immortality had he done nothing other than written "Mr. Bojangles," an allegedly true account of Walker's drunk-tank meeting with the dance legend. But Walker has achieved much more, building a solid career in the Texas "outlaw" singer-songwriter mold (a native New Yorker, Walker relocated to Texas in the early "70s).

Title Note

Personnel: Jerry Jeff Walker (vocals, guitar); Sandy Rhodes, Charlie Freeman, David Bromberg (guitar); Jody Stecher (fiddle, mandolin); Danny Milhon (dobro); Donny Brooks (harp); Gary Illingworth (piano, organ); Bobby Woods (organ); Bobby Cranshaw (acoustic & electric bass); Ron Carter (acoustic bass); Jerry Jemmott, Tommy McClure (bass); Sammy Creason, Bill LaVorgna (drums).

Recorded at Atlantic Recording Studios, New York on July 29, 31 and August 2, 1968; Sun Studios, Memphis, Tennessee on June 7, 1968. Originally released on Atco (33-259). Includes liner notes by Barry Alfonso.

An expanded version of Jerry Jeff Walker's second solo effort. MR. BOJANGLES includes the original mono single mix of the title song. The strings that were removed from the album version are here intact.

The rest of the album is very much of its day, a mix of good-timey folk, country, and rock with a definite hippie ethos, as witness the anti-music industry screed "I Keep Changin'." Other highlights include the moody, meditative "Broken Toys," and the longish Dylan-esque diatribe/jam "The Ballad of the Hulk," which uses the Marvel superhero character as a metaphor for just about everything, including the immorality of the Vietnam war.
