Wayne Walker
Induction Year: 1975
Birth Name: Wayne Paul Walker
Birth Date: 12-13-1925
Place of Birth: Quapaw, Oklahoma
Death Date: 01-02-1979
Place of Death: Nashville, Tennessee
Wayne Walker hoped to make a career for himself as a country music performer. Instead, the Oklahoma native made indelible contributions to music as the writer of many hit songs of the 1950s and '60s, penning country hits for Webb Pierce, Kitty Wells, Ray Price, Mel Tillis and others. "Are You Sincere" was a hit outside the country realm: Andy Williams reached #3 on the Billboard pop chart with the ballad in 1958, and the song was later covered by artists including Elvis Presley and Bobby Bare. Walker received a BMI Million Play award for "Are You Sincere."
Walker worked selling cars and vacuum cleaners and labored as a roofer while seeking to find his place in music. While appearing on the Louisiana Hayride, he befriended performers Webb Pierce and Tillman Franks, who encouraged him to write and record. He experimented with rockabilly in the years immediately following the rapid ascent of rock & roll and Elvis Presley, and though he didn't find success as a performer, he placed early songs with Johnny Burnette and others. Walker's first big hit was "I've Got a New Heartache," a shuffling #2 country hit for Ray Price in 1956. It would be revived by Ricky Skaggs in 1986, in another Top 10 hit.
The Price hit began a remarkable run for Walker, a prolific writer who prided himself on writing a new song every few days. He penned Top 10 country singles in the 1950s for Price, Pierce, Carl Smith and Kitty Wells, all of whom also scored with Walker songs in the 1960s. "Cut Across Shorty," recorded first by Eddie Cochran in the 1960s, was later revived as a country hit in versions by Smith and Nat Stuckey, and as a rocker for the Faces and Rod Stewart. "All the Time," a Walker composition first recorded by Kitty Wells in 1959, became Walker's only #1 hit when Jack Greene took it to the top of the charts in 1967, in a version that was named Billboard's Country Song of the Year.
Walker compositions such as "All the Time," "Why Why" (Carl Smith), "Fallen Angel" (Webb Pierce), "A Little Heartache" (Eddy Arnold), "Leaving on Your Mind" (Patsy Cline) and "Burning Memories" (Ray Price) are now regarded as evergreen classics that helped define one of country music's most compelling eras.

One of rockabilly's definitive masterpieces! Always loved this. Wayne Walker is greatly missed.

One of the wildest rockabilly songs in the 50's. Thanks for posting.

Based on everything I've read, the guitar is credited to Hank Garland, not Grady Martin. Martin may have produced, however. Both men are guitar giants for sure. This song rocks.
