"Four Walls" is a country song written in 1951[2] by Marvin J. Moore (lyrics) and George H. Campbell, Jr. (music).
Atkins felt that the song was more suitable for a female singer, but Reeves persisted and eventually a recording was made on February 7, 1957.
Many of the singer's previous records had been made in a forceful style, but Reeves employed a more mellow delivery, standing closer to the microphone for "Four Walls".
[3] Accompanied by Bob Moore on bass, Chet Atkins on guitar, Farris Coursey on drums, Floyd Cramer on piano, with vocal backing by The Jordanaires,[4] the song went to number 1 in 1957 on the Country music chart and number 12 on the Pop chart.
[5] In Canada, the song reached number 12 on the CHUM Charts, co-charting with the Jim Lowe version.
