6-CD Box (LP-Format) mit 32-seitigem Buch, 157 Einzeltitel. Spieldauer: 403 Minuten. -- Die Karriere Billy Walkers wird nur von Bear Family derart eindrucksvoll abgebildet: ‚Cross The Brazos At Waco‘ enthält seine ersten Aufnahmen für Capitol und all seine Columbia-Aufnahmen einschließlich der Originalversion von ‚ Funny How Time Slips Away‘ und Hits wie ‚Charlie’s Shoes‘, ‚Willie The Weeper‘, ‚Cross The Brazos At Waco‘ und ‚Thank You For Calling‘. – Billy Walker wurde am 14. Januar 1929 in Ralls, Texas, geboren. Beeindruckt von Gene Autry beschloss er, Musik zu machen. Seine Schulzeit endete 1947. Er nahm verschiedene Jobs an bevor 1948 an der Seite von Columbia-Musiker Jimmy Lawson seine Karriere begann. Er schloss sich dem Big D Jamboree in Dallas an (wo er als der Traveling Texan angekündigt wurde und eine Maske des Lone Ranger trug) und arbeitete für Hank Thompson in Waco. Durch Thompson erhielt er seinen ersten Plattenvertrag mit Capitol im Jahre 1949. Nur achtzehn Monate später wechselte er zu Columbia. 1954 konnte er erstmals einen Song in den Charts platzieren, ‚Thank You For Calling‘. – 1952 trat Billy Walker der Louisiana Hayride bei, zog 1954 zum Ozark Jubilee und flirtete kurzzeitig mit Rock ‚n‘ Roll, bevor er nach Texas zurückkehrte, um in Bierkneipen zu arbeiten. 1959 zog es ihn nach Nashville zur Grand Ole Opry, deren Mitglied er bis zu seinem Tode blieb. Nun kamen seine Platten regelmäßiger in die Charts. Seine Originalfassung von ‚Funny How Time Slips Away’ kam bis auf Position 23 in den Country-Charts. Der Nachfolger, ‘Charlie’s Shoes’, schoss 1962 bis an die Spitze! Bis in Achtzigerjahre hinein gelangen ihm Platzierungen in den Charts. Seine letzte Platten erschienen auf seinem eigenen Tall Texan Label. – Als charmanter Erzähler mit einem schier endlosen Reservoir an Geschichten wurde Billy zum allseits geliebten Typen in Nashville. Auf dem Rückweg von einem Auftritt in Gulf Shores, Alabama, kam sein Van von der Straße ab und überschlug sich. Neben ihm starben bei diesem Unfall seine Frau Bettie und Daniel Patton, ein Freund. – Seine Rock 'n' Roll-Aufnahmen finden sie in unserer ‚That’ll Flat Git It‘-Serie. Diese umfangreiche CD-Box enthält seine kompletten Aufnahmen von 1949 – 1965.
Product Information
6-CD boxed set (LP-size) with 32-page book, 157 tracks. Playing time: approx. 403 mns. -- Bear Family is alone in documenting Billy Walker’s career, starting with his first recordings for Capitol, and all the Columbia recordings, including the original version of Funny How Time Slips Away, and hits like Charlie’s Shoes, Willie The Weeper, Cross The Brazos At Waco, and Thank You For Calling. -- Born in Ralls, Texas, on January 14, 1929, Billy was inspired by Gene Autry to take up music. After getting out of school in 1947, he worked various day jobs before beginning his career fronting for sometime Columbia artist Jimmy Lawson in 1948. He joined the Big D Jamboree in Dallas (where he was billed as the Traveling Texan and wore a Lone Ranger-styled mask) and worked for Hank Thompson in Waco. It was Thompson who got him his first contract with Capitol in 1949. Eighteen months later, Billy switched to Columbia. His first charted hit was Thank You For Calling in 1954. -- Billy joined the Louisiana Hayride in 1952, moved to the Ozark Jubilee in '54, flirted briefly with rock 'n' roll, and then returned to Texas to work the beer joints. In 1959, he moved to Nashville to join the Grand Ole Opry, and remained a member until his death. His records began charting with more regularity. His original version of Funny How Time Slips Away stalled at #23 on the country charts, but the follow-up, Charlie’s Shoes, hit the top spot in 1962. He continued to chart records regularly into the 1980s, and his last records were on his own Tall Texan label. -- An engaging raconteur with a bottomless fund of stories, Billy was a much-loved character in Nashville. He was returning from a gig in Gulf Shores, Alabama when his van ran off the road and overturned. Those killed alongside him included his wife, Bettie, and a friend, Daniel Patton. -- We at Bear Family have reissued one of Billy's rock 'n' roll recordings in our 'That'll Flat Git It' series, but we have also reissued all of his recordings complete from 1949-1965 on this complete 6-CD set.
