Sammy Walker (Unreleased Songs) 1975

I met Sammy in May of 1975 at the Apartment of Sis Cunningham and Gordon Friesen. They ran "Broadside Magazine" and were the sweetest Couple you've ever known. Sammy had recently arrived from Georgia and Phil Ochs was chiming his praises to any who would listen. He sat and played for us and was beyond Awesome. I saw him perform several times at Folk City and, of course, purchased his three fine Albums. Always felt
he would have a career in a similar vein as John Prine or Tom Waits. Here are four of
his lost gems that did not make his studio albums.
1.It's Just Bad Luck, That's All
2. We Alway's Get Our Man 4:00
3. Talkin' Skydiving Blues 6:29
4. Hours Of The Clock 10:22

Great find! Thanks for posting this. I sent this to Sammy by email. Wondering if he’s forgotten these tracks. His first three albums are his best, but keep going, the later ones are also pretty good. There’s an album of Woody Guthrie covers, a hard to find live one from Italy, Old Time Southern Dream, Misfit Scarecrow, and even a collection of rarities that came out a couple of years ago, on vinyl. I like the two he made for Warner Brothers the best.

'An Irish Goodbye' has made Sammy Walker a film score film-star in 2023 ?

This guy sure sounds like early Bob Dylan! What became of Sunny Walker? Was he from N.Y.? I really like this song!! Thanks for posting it.

Sammy was from Georgia and now lives in North Carolina. Never obtained the Fame he deserved.
