About This Title
Dec 12, 2023: Angus Walker and Robert Williston present this terrific country music album presented exclusively here at citizenfreak.com for the first time in nearly 50 years.
The Cabinet and I produced this LP in Toronto. Released by Cynda/Boot Records (owned by Stompin' Tom), there was a lot of Canadian content: 3 were mine, "Parliament Hill", one by my friend Muriel's, a Lightfoot song and a track by Doug Trineer. Larry had the idea of recording Five Man Electrical Band's "Signs". Of course we threw in Waylon and Paycheck songs as well among others.
Angus Walker: lead vocals, rhythm guitar
The Cabinet:
Steve Lau: lead guitar, steel effects, vocal arrangements
Henry Brennan: bass, vocals
Larry Brennan: drums, vocals
Anne Marie Arsenault: vocal effects on 'Barbara Jean'
Produced by Angus Walker and The Cabinet
Recorded at Sound Canada, Toronto, Ontario

pic of me from The Scotia Sun. Al Hooper had a song called Washington DC so I asked Ben Kerr to write a Cdn version for me. The next day, Ben had finished "Parliament Hill" which kicked off my time as Canada's PM of Country Music
"Runnin'" Ben Kerr and I in the recording studio. Ironically, we were most likely not talking about music but that cigarette in my hand. I do not think there's another person in Canada that worked harder to protect people from smoking in public places
Article from The Scotia Sun in 74. Refers to a few milestones of my career such as being part of first cross-country TV show of country music ever to originate in Halifax with The Countrymen on CJCH and app w/ the Jim & Don Haggart on The Ian Tyson Show
Mine and The Cabinet's business card from the mid '70's.

A picture of me with my '65 RPM Award, (later known as the Junos) and the LP and 8 Track versions of the album "Introducing Angus Walker: Canada's Prime Minister of Country Music" which was recorded in a day. Picture taken by my father in Port Hastings.
Story is transcript of Ben Kerr talking about Parliament Hill & how some mistook me as the actual PM of Canada. Some dtls are a bit exaggerated for entertainment. We met PM Trudeau in Timmons, Ont. around this time & had a laugh about the whole situation
An article that appeared in "The Casket" late in '74 while The Cabinet and myself were touring The Maritimes. This time we were in Antigonish!
