We Had It All follows the same pattern as the previous Stretch, but it leans a little more heavily toward country, as the centerpiece of four Billy Joe Shaver songs indicates. Although the album is still a little musically tentative, and while it is a disappointment to hear no new original material from Walker, We Had It All is his strongest record in years, since the country leanings are a welcome change of pace and he sings with authority throughout the record.
