About this album

Mr. Bojangles is a landmark Jerry Jeff Walker album that helped define the late-1960s country-folk crossroads. Released in 1968, it combines conversational storytelling, roving acoustic arrangements and a laid-back Texas sensibility with the title song that became Walker’s signature and one of his most enduring compositions. The album reflects the singer-songwriter movement taking shape at the time, balancing humour, melancholy and plainspoken detail in a way that made Walker stand out from more polished Nashville contemporaries. Its reputation has endured as a key early statement from a distinctive voice in American folk and country music.
