Title: Prime Honky Tonk
Review: Charlie Walker recorded some of the finest honky tonk tracks ever waxed. His sound follows fast on the heels of his friend Ray Price's classic honky tonk sides, and come complete with that wonderful shuffle beat. Every side is beautiful, and Walker runs the gamut from the deeply wounded to the humorous. "Who Will Buy the Wine" and "Pick Me Up on Your Way Down" are model honky tonk odes to the hard side of the life and "Please Don't Squeeze My Sharmon" makes you really wonder what Mr Whipple really meant. Plus the set has Walker's killer reading of the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women." Someone needs to seriously reevaluate the Country roots of the British invasion. A beautiful CD, and a long overdue tribute to a great singer.
