HI, HOW ARE YOU TODAY? THANKS FOR STOPPING BY AND GIVING ME A LISTEN. I HOPE YOU LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR.
AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, MY NAME IS JAKE WALKER. I WAS RAISED IN SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA WHERE THE MUSIC OF COUNTRY'S OUTLAWS RULED. YOU KNOW, MERLE HAGGARD, JOHNNY CASH, WILLIE NILSON, WAYLON JINNINGS, ETC.
WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, MY BROTHER WAS ATTENDING OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY AND INTRODUCED ME TO THE TEXAS COUNTRY MUSIC SCENE. JERRY JEFF WALKER, ROBERT EARL KEEN, STEVE EARLE, TOWNES VAN ZANDT, GUY CLARK, THOSE GUYS. THERE WAS ALSO A YOUNG CROP OF RED DIRT MUSICIANS COMING INTO THEIR OWN AT THAT TIME. CROSS CANADIAN RAGWEED, MIKE MCCLURE, JASON BOLAND, STONEY LARUE, AND MANY OTHERS.
THE FIRST TIME I HEARD JASON BOLAND'S BOOTLEGGED ACOUSTIC WORMY DOG CD, I THOUGHT, I WANT TO DO THAT. SO I BOUGHT A GUITAR, LEARNED 3 CHORDS AND STARTED WRITING SONGS.
I STARTED PLAYING IN AND AROUND STILLWATER AFTER MOVING HERE TO ATTEND THE UNIVERSITY (GO POKES), AND HAVE CONTINUED TO DO SO AFTER GRADUATION. I PLAY WHERE I CAN, WHEN I CAN, AND WOULD LOVE TO PLAY MORE AND MORE. I PLAN TO COMPLETE AN ALBUM IN THE NEAR FUTURE SO THAT I CAN GET THESE SONGS OUT OF MY HEAD AND ONTO A CD, AND ALSO FOR YOUR LISTENING PLESURE.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE SONGS AND COME BY OFTEN. FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MY MUSIC, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND HAVE A NICE DAY.YOU STAY CLASSY...PLANET EARTH!
