FALL - CLAY WALKER
Between 1993 and 1999, Clay Walker scored 31 country hits — 13 in the top five — before multiple sclerosis dared to stop him in his tracks, after diagnosis in 1996. His eighth album and first in three years, “Fall,” demonstrates the will to overcome, with a clear ear to returning the singer/songwriter to the upper echelon, as he sings, “Go on and lose it all, every doubt, every fear, every worry, every tear, I’m right here.” Walker’s rich, confident baritone offers all the more reassurance, as does his self-assured smile. Along with Ty Herndon’s , this is the consummate country comeback of the year.Billboard
