"Hello Walls" is an American country music song written by Willie Nelson and first recorded by Faron Young. It was number one on Billboard's country chart for nine weeks in 1961 and spent 23 weeks on the chart.[1] It peaked at number 12 on the pop chart and was Young's only top-40 pop hit in the United States. Young's recording featured Floyd "Lightnin’" Chance on double bass and The Wilburn Brothers on background vocals.[2]
"Hello Walls" introduced Nelson to a national audience.[3] In 1996, Nelson recorded a rock version of the song with the band The Reverend Horton Heat for the album Twisted Willie.[4]
