In 1990, the Kentucky Headhunters had a song out called “Dumas Walker.”  The music video was always being aired on CMT, so people always wanted to know more about the legend of Dumas Walker or if there was really a man named Dumas Walker. 
Yes, there is or was a Dumas Walker.  Dumas Walker, was 74 years old when he was in the Kentucky Headhunters music video.  He owned Walker’s Package Store on TN 51, just a bit south of the Kentucky/Tennessee State Line in Moss, Tennessee.
