AboutCountry singer Charlie Walker had a sporadic career with one
major highlight, his 1958 classic hit release of Harlan Howard's
"Pick Me up on Your Way Down." Texas-born Walker began in
the early '40s as a vocalist in the Cowboy Ramblers. After several
years singing with the Bill Boyd-led group, Walker briefly retired from
the performing side of the business to work as a DJ. A recording
contract with Columbia brought him back to performing, though,
and it was then that he scored with Howard's classic composition.
Minor hits followed, including a trilogy of honky tonk-inspired tunes,
"Close All the Honky Tonks," "Honky Tonk Season," and even a
cover of the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women." After the hits
dried up, Walker moved to the land of mediocre performers, Las
Vegas, and sang there for several years before attempting an
unsuccessful comeback with MCA in 1986.
