Jerry Jeff Walker inspired and encouraged so many young singer-songwriters that it was just devastating to see him go in 2020. Folk, country, rock, charismatic storytelling and superb songcraft come together as this set collects Walker’s five 1968–79 Atco/Elektra LPs. Along with his endlessly adored "Mr. Bojangles" and more of his best-loved compositions, these albums ("Mr. Bojangles," "Five Years Gone," "Bein’ Free," "Jerry Jeff" and "Too Old to Change") include his memorable covers of Kris Kristofferson, Guy Clark, John D. Loudermilk, Rodney Crowell and Lee Clayton. You’ll hear "Gypsy Songman," "Little Bird," "Maybe Mexico," "Help Me Now," "Stony," "Lone Wolf," "Bad News," "A Secret," "Me and Bobby McGee," "I Ain’t Living Long Like This," "I’m Not Strange" and more including an early radio broadcast version of "Mr. Bojangles."
