JERRY JEFF WALKER: MR. BOJANGLES (ATCO). A zestful romp of a first album by a 27-year-old graduate of the rock group Circus Maximus. The boundaries of Walker's country style are broad enough to take in rock, ballads and the blues. The Ballad of the Hulk, though a little long and repetitive, is an object lesson in how to protest without falling into a dreary drone. His targets include the Vatican, divorce and the draft ("I have but one country to give for my life"). The spirit is so infectious that even squares may applaud the lines...

...keep busy. As a consequence of your obession with drums you are unfit for useful work. It looks like you're going to be a ne'er-do-well, so you get together with some other kids who are also ne'er-do-wells and form a rock group. At your first recording session another group asks you to be their drummer. You join them; change your name to Ringo; and escape oblivion for fame and influence...
