I loved her music, Nelson says of Walker's catalog of playful saloon songs and heartfelt ballads. Even before we met I felt like I knew her from listening to Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys do her songs. Every night of the week as a teenager I was playing things like Miss Molly and I Was Just Walking Out The Door somewhere.
