JERRY JEFF WALKER
MR.BOJANGLES
ATCO SD 33-259 -1968 - US


Jerry Jeff Walker record cover J.J.Walker was born in the year 1942 in New York State and when he left his family he begun to play his guitar on the road.
He also was in the first psychedelic record of the famous group Circus Maximus . He left the band because he loved folk rock music and he wanted to play it. So he recorded his solo first LP on Vanguard label and after, for Atco this jewel, one of the best in this genre. Yes, it's a well known album, but underrated, it's just for this reason that you see it on Celononcelo .
He just liked to feel free, he didn't like business and he liked to decided himself what and when recorder. It's for this reason that success never came. Mr.Bojangles value is less than 50 US dollars (the first original pressing has the tricolor label) and it's a record to get absolutely.
