If You Like Country Music You'll Love Bradley Walker
Born in 1976 Bradley Walker
is a native of Athens, Alabama. He was born with muscular dystrophy, and has been in a wheelchair all his life. He was a
student at East Limestone High School where he played percussion in the
school band.
Bradley's parents shared a love of
music and his mother worked in a music store before he was born. He started singing when he was only four years old, and he grew up
on a steady musical diet of vintage country, bluegrass, and gospel. Bradley started
singing in talent competitions at the age of seven, and when he was 11, he
appeared on the TV series Nashville Now, singing with the Oak Ridge
Boys. A year later, when the Oak Ridge Boys sang on Jerry
Lewis' annual fundraising telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, they
brought him along to perform with them.
In 1998, Walker formed a band, The Trinity Mountain
Boys, and began to perform at bluegrass festivals. In
2001, he joined the Georgia-based group Lost Horizon. He
was signed to Rounder Records, and released his debut album, Highway of Dreams, in 2006.
The album was produced by Carl Jackson. For
his performance on the album, he won the Male Vocalist of the Year Award from
the International
Bluegrass Music Association.
Walker's second album, Call Me
Old-Fashioned, was produced by Rory Feek and
recorded at the Joey + Rory studio out on their farm in 2016. Walker had known Joey and Rory
Feek since 2007, and he was asked by Rory Feek to sing the hymn "Leave It There" at the funeral of Joey Feek in
accordance with her wishes. Bill Gaither of the Gaither Music Group, who was also at the funeral
service, heard Walker's performance and signed Walker to his label. The
album includes a posthumous duet with Joey Feek, "In The Time That You
Gave Me", using vocals she recorded before her death.The
album was released on September 23, 2016 and
debuted at No. 9 on the Top Country Albums chart.
In 2019 Bradley
appeared at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival.
n 2020, walker collaborated with Jimmy Fortune, Ben Isaacs, and Mike Rogers to release an
album Brotherly Love and a concert DVD/TV special filmed at Rory
Feek's barn/studio near Columbia, TN.[13] The album was released digitally on May 29,
2020, and the DVD and CD released on September 4, 2020.[14] The concert film aired on the Circle network on October 20, 2020
