At a time when Country music first started gravitating towards the smoothness of 'The Nashville Sound' in the mid 1950s, there were a handful of important artists who stayed true to the fiddles and steel guitars that gave country it's identity in the first place. DJ-turned singer Charlie Walker was one such artist. The string of uncompromisingly hard-core honky tonk hits he enjoyed from the mid 50s to the early 60s were made to be played at dance halls, where their shuffle beat was warmly welcomed time after time. In this first ever UK compilation of Charlie's breakthrough tunes you can hear them all. Among the tracks are the original versions of many song that have passed into country music legend, including 'I'll Catch You When You Fall', 'Who Will Buy The Wine' and Charlie's breakthrough hit 'Pick Me Up On Your Way Down' - songs that have been recorded time and again, without ever beating the versions you'll hear here. This truly IS classic country music that will never get old and never get tired, brought to you in an audio quality that demonstrates exactly why this is so. You don't have to be in a Texas honky tonk to enjoy these tunes. Close your eyes and listen - Charlie Walker will take you right to the heart of a hardwood floor.
