A Dallas, Texas native, Walker's music picks up where some of his state's singer/songwriter greats like Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt and Billy Joe Shaver left off. He grew up in a musical tradition that celebrated Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings for rejecting rigid Nashville country norms and carving out the outlaw country genre away from Music City's neon lights.

Walker's music often elicits comments of "I don't like country music, but I like this," from new fans. That's because it doesn't sound like the mainstream country music of the past few decades. You won't find big-truck worship or rote breakup tales in his music; Walker writes meticulously-worded songs about human foibles and working-class characters that thrive on the stories they tell, narrated by his sweet, husky tenor.
