Sammy Walker\Song for Patty - 1975
I first heard if this artist when i purchased and listened to the 5 disc set entitled the best of broadside. This is the only album I've been able to find. He should have been better known.See if you agree. Click here

Many thanks for the Sammy Walker album. A protégé of Phil Ochs, Walker was one of the less-known contenders in the “New Dylan” stakes. “Song for Patty” was, I think, his first album, followed by two for Warner Bros. Dave Marsh was not impressed, “in Walker’s hand, Dylan’s influence became a matter of studied mannerism, too crude for belief” (Rolling Stone Record Guide), but I found them pleasant enough. And he does sound like Dylan, which cannot be bad:)
Sammy did other albums? Hmm. this is pretty darned good. i really enjoyed it. will have to keep an eye open for his other stuff, as it might be worthwhile ....
thanks for this post. Just forget that's 1975 and Dylan's influence, very good early 60's scope.
Great album!
Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!
I used to have an album by SW recorded on an audio-cassette in the late '70s.
I loved it!
This is the first time since then I've heard about SW.
Thank you!
