Bradley Walker

Country music is at its best when it’s anchored in tradition, rooted in faith and family values and delivered with heartfelt passion that resonates with authenticity. On his Gaither Music Group debut, Call Me Old-Fashioned, Bradley Walker, an unabashed traditionalist, Walker serves up a collection that would make his heroes proud, yet infuses each song with a youthful enthusiasm that puts a fresh spin on a classic style.

Produced by his longtime friend Rory Feek, Walker’s album is filled with substantive songs brought to life by his warm, earnest baritone. “Call Me Old-Fashioned” reflects Walker’s love of tradition while “Sinners Only” is an intriguing reminder we are all just sinners saved by grace. Another of the highlights of the album is “In the Time That You Gave Me,” a poignant duet between Walker and Rory’s late wife, Joey, who lost her battle with cancer in March.

The Oak Ridge Boys have long sung Walker’s praises; and legendary artist/songwriter/producer Carl Jackson produced Walker’s debut album, Highway of Dreams, which helped earn Walker the Male Vocalist of the Year Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association.

Recording an album was a dream come true for the Athens, Alabama, native. He first got that chance when The Oak Ridge Boys invited him to sing on the popular TV show “Nashville Now.” Getting into the music business is a challenge for any young hopeful, but for someone born with muscular dystrophy, who has spent his whole life in a wheelchair, it might seem especially daunting.
