Ultimate Collection is the most lengthy and comprehensive anthology yet assembled on Jerry Jeff Walker, with tracks licensed from three different labels spanning the late `60s through the late `70s. His classic "Mr. Bojangles" is here with other crowd pleasers such as "Hairy Ass Hillbillies," "Pissin` in the Wind," and "Up Against the Wall Redneck." Walker had a poetic side, too, but Ultimate Collection focuses mainly on his rambunctious singalongs, and entirely skips some of his early albums. All but one of his hits from the `70s is included, but none of his `80s hits made the cut. In sum, Ultimate Collection is an imperfect survey of Walker`s first decade or so, but has plenty of popular appeal. ~ Greg Adams
