Lawrence Walker began his recording career in 1929, when he recorded some early sides for the Brunswick label. By the mid-thirties he recorded for the Bluebird label, then he returned to recording in 1950 for the Khoury's label. By 1955, the label faded out as 45rpm records were coming in. Lawrence recorded for Floyd Soileau's early labels then started recording for La Louisianne and ended his recording career with them.  Here's Lawrence's complete output from 1957-1962.
