After intensive touring and playing on others' records, he signed to Dead Oceans in the fall. His debut album, All Kinds of You, was issued by the label in April of 2014. Walker's first widely circulated recording was a vinyl-only three-song 12" entitled West Wind from Tompkins Square Records in 2013. Later that year he released - again via cassette on Plustapes - Of Deathly Premonitions, a four-song collaboration with fellow fingerstyle guitarist Daniel Bachman. Its artwork was deliberately reminiscent of John Fahey's Death Chants Breakdowns & Military Favorites, and inspired by the American Primitive lexicon of Takoma Records. The first recorded aspect of his complex musical persona arrived with the cassette-only EP The Evidence of Things Unseen, issued in a limited edition by Plustapes in 2011.
For his part, Walker proved delightfully unpredictable, shapeshifting styles from blues and folk to pop and experimental sounds. After spending a few years cutting his teeth on the Chicago indie and experimental music scenes, Walker began giving solo live performances on acoustic guitar, drawing the inevitable comparisons to his peers, from William Tyler and Glenn Jones to British Isles guitarists ranging from John Renbourn to Davy Graham and Martin Carthy.

A series of adventurous collaborations followed before Walker returned to original solo work on 2021's Course in Fable. Walker's love of the DMB was highlighted in his dark interpretations of their songs on the 2018 covers album The Lillywhite Sessions. He moved from noisy avant-garde work in his nascent stages into virtuosic guitar playing and floating spiritual pop that traced lines between Bert Jansch, Van Morrison, and somehow even the Dave Matthews Band.
