Pretty Boy Floyd: Sammy Walker

July 29, 2010

This is from a 1979 album on Folkways, now Smithsonian Folkways, called Songs from Woody's Pen.

It was Phil Ochs who had heard Sammy on a radio show and, "Within two months, Ochs had arranged the recording of Sammy's album for Folkways, and convinced Warner Brothers to sign him for two records. Ochs produced Sammy's first album for Folkways, called Song For Patty and featured newspaper heiress Patty Hearst on the cover of the album. Sammy recorded two superb albums for Warner Brothers that were produced by legendary producer Nik Venet. He was also managed by the late Harold Leventhal (manager of Woody Guthrie, The Weavers, Pete Seeger, etc…)."
