"As these albums demonstrate, there was much more to Walker than "Mr. Bojangles." He was a first-rate songwriter, capable of sweet, evocative folk tunes that limn memorably iconoclastic characters; and he could also churn out raucous country like Bein' Free's "Where Is the DAR When You Really Need Them?" as well as lilting, upbeat numbers like Mr. Bojangles's "Gypsy Songman." And his vocals fit the material to a tee".
