It’s rare to find original albums by major artists that have never been reissued
on CD. Due to repeated requests and by popular demand Raven
presents the classic MCA albums Walker’s Collectibles (1974) and
Ridin’ High (1975) by the famed Country artist JERRY JEFF WALKER.
Most widely known as the writer of the oft-covered and immensely popular
‘Mr. Bojangles’, Walker came to prominence in the early 1970s as
part of the progressive “outlaw” Country scene around Austin, Texas,
alongside Willie Nelson, Guy Clark, Billy Joe Shaver, Waylon Jennings
and Townes Van Zandt. Originally recorded for MCA Records, Walker’s
Collectibles appears on CD for the first time. It followed his transition
from New York folkie to bona fide Texas singer / song writer with the
landmark Jerry Jeff Walker album (also available on Raven RVCD-320).
Walker was at the top of his game here surrounded by the exceptional
Lost Gonzo Band. Described by All Music Guide as “an up-tempo, rockin’
country record”, highlights include the self-penned ‘Salvation Army Band’
and ‘She Left Me Holdin’’ plus Gary P. Nunn’s captivating ballad ‘Well of
the Blues’. Ridin’ High upped the ante with top-notch material such as
Willie’s Nelson’s ‘Pick up the Tempo’, Bob Livingston’s ‘Public Domain’
and Guy Clark’s ‘Like a Coat from the Cold’. It’s a timeless, rowdy, goodtime
album – “pure Texas country drunk & roll” (All Music Guide). With
superb quality audio, color booklet, detailed notes, six bonus tracks from
A Man Must Carry On (1977).
