Joshua Ray Walker

Established Date: 2014Bandcamp Link: Listen on Bandcamp

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.
