Charlie Walker - Pick Me Up On Your Way Down (CD)

5-CD box (LP-size) with 40-page book, 154 tracks. Playing time approx. 384 mns.The hillbilly shuffle and the honky tonk song are still the cornerstones of real country music. Some pioneers, like Ray Price, are getting their due these days, but others, like Charlie Walker, tend to be overlooked.The facts are these: Charlie Walker's early hits, like Who Will Buy The Wine, Pick Me Up On Your Way Down, Wild As A Wildcat, and Little Ol' Winedrinker Me are simply as good as it gets when it comes to heartbreakin', cheatin', beerhall country music and state-of-the-art hillbilly shuffles.The 154 sides represented in this five-CD collection chronicle the development of Charlie Walker's style from his earliest recordings in 1952 for Imperial Records to his classic sides for Columbia and Epic Records.The enclosed 40-page book includes a newly researched biography by Chris Skinker and many unpublished photos from Charlie's personal collection.Track ListingDisc 1: I'm Looking For Another You Stolen Kisses Flaming Jewels Two Red Lips By Rights You Belong To Me Out Of My Arms Flock Of Memories What You Savin' Your Lovin' For I've Never Been Out Of Texas Stay Away From My Heart You Don't Need No Other Daddy But Me Tell Her Lies And Feed Her Candy When You Know What You Have Lost It Takes That To Satisfy Me The Chocolate Song Hurry Back Home Only You, Only You You Can't Get There From Here Remembering Stepping Stones Stand Still Cheaters Never Win I'm Not Mixed Up Anymore Gentle Love No Sorrow Tonight Dancing Mexican Boy I'll Never Let It Show Take My Hand (I'll Understand) Two Empty Arms Pick Me Up On Your Way Down Do You Care For Me Who's Giving Who The Heartaches Now Disc 2: I'll Catch You When You Fall I Don't Mind Saying Broken Hearts Will Haunt Your Soul Bow Down Your Head And Cry When My Conscience Hurts The Most Who Will Buy The Wine I Go Anywhere Take Back Your Old Love Letters A Way To Free Myself Right Back At Your Door Facing The Wall I Walked Out Of Heaven Good Deal, Lucille Louisiana Belle Life Goes On (I Wonder Why) I Only Meant To Borrow (Not To Steal) Running Back To You One In Every Crowd What's Wrong With Me There's Where Katie Waits Truck Driving Man Close All The Honky Tonks The Bad Things I Do I Am Nothing Last Call For Alcohol Wild Side Of Life Honky Tonk Blues Fraulein Disc 3: Honky Tonk Song The Band Keeps Playing On Every Good Reason Shoes Of A Fool Walking The Floor Over You Foggy River Born To Lose You're Still On My Mind My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You I'll Go Down Swinging Drivin' Nails In My Coffin Gonna Buy Me A Jukebox I Can Take Anything I'd Rather Switch Than Fight Fast Way Of Livin' Hello, Bill Bubbles In My Beer Crazy Arms Little Old Heartache Maker Me Wild As A Wildcat Out Of A Honky Tonk Try Me One More Time The Man In The Little White Suit Memory Killer He's A Jolly Good Fellow A Dozen More Like You Back In My Baby's Arms Again I'm Gonna Live (As Long As I Can) Little Old Winedrinker Me Think Of Me Daddy's Coming Home (Next Week) I'm Ashamed Of You I'm Gonna Hang Up My Gloves You Lied To Me The Town That Never Sleeps Disc 4: The Way To Say Goodbye Mr. Cool Don't Squeeze My Sharmon Moffett, Oklahoma The Tail's Been Waggin' The Dog Too Long Tonight, We're Calling It A Day Pistol Packin' Mama Fast Women, Slow Horses And Wine Here's To The Girls I Wouldn't Take Her To A Dogfight Sweetheart Of The Year The One Rose (That's Left In My Heart) A Bad Girl Truck Drivin' Cat With Nine Wives A Honky Tonk In Dallas San Diego There Is A Fountain What A Friend We Have In Jesus Leaning On The Everlasting Arms Softly And Tenderly This World Is Not My Home Precious Memories I'll Fly Away Gathering Flowers For The Master's Bouquet The Great Speckled Bird On The Wings Of A Dove He Is My Everything Honky Tonk Season Till Something Better Comes Along Too Many Nights In Too Many Arms Disc 5: You're From Texas Don't Put Down The Honky Tonks Rosie Bokay Honky Tonk Women I Owe The World To You Let's Go Fishin' Boys (The Girls Are Bitin') You're All Dressed Up (With Somewhere To Go) Ode To Stella God Save The Queen (Of The Honky Tonks) Becky Who My Baby Used To Be That Way Before I Found The Wire Good Old Mountain Dew She's Much More Of A Woman Wild Woman Got My Mind On The Border Of Mexico Jambalaya Almost Persuaded San Antonio Rose El Rancho Grande Additional DetailsLabel: Bear Family RecordsGenre: CountryRun Time: 384 minsRelease Date: 01/02/07UPC: 4000127158529
