Grey DeLisle and pals salute legendary Western Swing songwriter Cindy Walker

Singer/songwriter Grey DeLisle and her friends recorded their fave Cindy Walker tunes for It's All Her Fault.

Grammy winning singer/songwriter and voice actor Grey DeLisle gathered a few friends together to record a tribute to legendary country songwriter Cindy Walker ("You Don't Know Me, Dream Baby, Bubbles In My Beer, Blue Canadian Rockies, etc). The resulting 13-track collection, It's All Her Fault: A Tribute To Cindy Walker – due October 10th via Hummin'bird Records – involves contributions from Rosie Flores, Kelly Willis, Mandy Barnett, Jolie Holland, Gail Davies and of course Grey DeLisle who doubled as executive producer of the project. 

If DeLisle had the time and financial resources, it could've easily been 20 volume set considering how  prolific Cindy Walker was over the course of her five decade plus career as a tunesmith in which she wrote more than 500 songs with numerous top-10 hits recorded by Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys, Elvis Presley, Ernest Tubb, Bing Crosby, Webb Pierce, Jim Reeves, Gene Autry, Eddy Arnold, Al Dexter, Roy Orbison and Willie Nelson who put out a tribute album of his own,  You Don't Know Me: The Songs of Cindy Walker, released on March 16, 2006 just seven days before she died near her home of Mexia, Texas at the age of 88. Streaming proceeds will be directed to the Cindy Walker Foundation to help with the renovation of her home. 

Listen to Kelly Willis singing "I Don't Care" which Walker co-wrote with Webb Pierce in 1955 following the track listing for It's All Her Fault. Pierce's original recording spent 12 weeks on top of the C&W Best Sellers chart and Ricky Skaggs hit big  with it again in 1982. 

Also, watch three "Soundie" clips of Cindy Walker performing "Bearcat Mountain Gal" from 1942, "Ti-Yi-Yippie-Aye" and "Election Day" both from 1944 below. And check out Grey DeLisle's latest solo release, The Grey Album released earlier this year on her own Hummin'bird Records label which you can get via her site listed in the links section along with a couple of recent articles about the release of It's All Her Fault.
