NASHVILLE’S PUBLIC ENEMY NO. 1 PREPARES TO RELEASE SECOND ALBUM, OL’
WHEELER; PRE-ORDER
NOW AT WHEELERWALKERJR.COM
Unrepentant country music outlier set to release second Dave Cobb-produced album on June 2; The Wheeler Walker Jr. Podcast continues to offend
NASHVILLE, Tenn.– Country music outcast Wheeler Walker Jr. is about to be way more in your face than usual, adding more than a dozen dates to his highly anticipated The Ol' Wheeler Tour as he prepares to release his second broadside assault on Music City, Ol’ Wheeler, on June 2, via Pepperhill Music.
Walker is celebrating the
release of Ol’ Wheeler with a sold out hometown show on
release day at the venerable Exit/In where most of his outlaw country heroes
have thrown down at some point over the years. He'll also play The Bowery
Ballroom in New York City and a sold-out show at The Troubadour in West
Hollywood before hitting the middle of the nation in July and August.
Walker’s debut album, Redneck Sh*t, caught everyone by surprise.
This time around, the “unfathomably obscene and undeniably offensive” (Rolling Stone Country) singer can be seen
coming a mile away with a wildly popular podcast, The Wheeler Walker Jr. Podcast and
the release of three videos – including the recent raunchy release of “Puss in
Boots” on adult entertainment website P*rnhub.
Rollingstone:
Wheeler Walker Jr. Plots 'Ol'
Wheeler' Summer Tour
Ol’ Wheeler is produced by Dave Cobb with
the same band put together by the elite producer for Redneck Sh*t. The album builds on that 2016
debut, which proved to be no novelty record with a debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Comedy Albums chart and No. 9 on the
Country Albums chart – marking the first time in nearly a decade an album had
appeared on both charts. Ol’
Wheeler takes
a deeper look at life spent misanthropically on the road and in the crosshairs
of Nashville’s establishment.
If interest in The Wheeler
Walker Jr. Podcast is any sign, Ol’
Wheeler should make a splashy debut. The podcast
debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes’ Music Podcast chart when it premiered on May 2
with an episode featuring Morgane and Chris Stapleton and
currently holds the peak position. The show peaked at No. 32 on the overall podcast
chart with more than 26,000 unique downloads in Week 1. Episode 2 featuring Bill Burr was
up 32 percent on first-day listens over Episode 1.
The third episode, featuring iconic singer-songwriter Billy Joe Shaver, will be released May 16.
