Bio
Scott was born in Houston and grew up in Kingwood, Texas. He took piano lessons but soon turned to the guitar. Formed a band in high school with Paul Logan and Davin James. Scott was a regular attraction at bars like Calamity Creek and Railroad Blues while attending college at Sul Ross University in Alpine. West Texas sparked Scott's imagination and was the birthplace of his song Brother Tumbleweed, recorded by Gary P. Nunn. In the late eighties Scott returned to East Texas, where he began to focus on his songwriting and production skills in the studio. He now lives on the Broken W Ranch near Mineola, Texas, where he operates a recording studio when he isn't writing and performing.

Reviews
“"...Mr. Walker is quintessentially Texas in that he is both mysterious and eclectic..."
“"...if you've ever wondered how much soul you have, this is one hell of a litmus test..."
“"...evokes memories of when Willie, Waylon, and the boys were the rule and Alabama was nothing more than the state to the east of Mississippi..."
“"...the kind of song George Strait would have done way back when he still gave a damn..."
“Scott Walker is a Texas troubadour. He commingles various styles from roadhouse country to Western swing, funk and blues with equal aplomb, which is really what the Texas sound is all about. If you want to know what makes Texas music so special, hunt down a copy of Wanderin' Mind; it'll be worth the trip.†-Jud Block,Rockzillaworld
“I first heard Scott Walker at Larry Joe Taylor’s Music Festival. I realized that there would probably be more artists I would see and hear for the first time during this event. And there was. But none impressed me more than Scott Walker.†-Lana Hughes, MissLana.com
