He has recently released a 3-cd box set of 50 songs spanning a 30-year period: John Walker: From An Okie Boy To The Loup River - 1975-2005. Robert Butler wrote in The Kansas City Star: "I can't help but feel if Woody Guthrie were alive today he'd be crazy about Walker's music...With his rich, deep, folksie voice and his love of '30's blues, Walker seems to have stepped sraight from the Dust Bowl days...he knocks your ears off..." In The Flinthills Folk Music Guild Newsletter, Don Koke said, "an explosive, rollicking, foot-stomping romp tht promises to make you tight, keep you jumping 'til the broad daylight."
