Stonewall Jackson • That's Why I'm Walkin' - Singles As & Bs 1957-1962 CD

One of Country Music's most enduring Honky Tonk stars, Stonewall Jackson enjoyed one of the most remarkable starts to any Country recording career. After becoming the first unsigned artist to join the Grand Ole Opry, he was taken under the wing of Ernest Tubb, who helped secure his first recording contract. The result was an extraordinary run of hit records that established Jackson as one of Nashville's biggest stars.

This superb 32-track collection brings together the A and B sides of Stonewall Jackson's first sixteen singles, issued between 1957 and 1962. During that period he scored an astonishing fifteen Country Top 30 hits, including classics such as Waterloo, Life To Go, That's Why I'm Walkin', A Wound Time Can't Erase and Leona. Beautifully remastered from the best available sources, these recordings capture Jackson's rich voice and uncompromising Honky Tonk style at its very best.

Whether you're discovering Stonewall Jackson for the first time or revisiting one of Country Music's true greats, That's Why I'm Walkin' is an essential collection from an artist whose recordings still define the sound of classic Honky Tonk.
