Wheeler Walker Jr. is an American comedian, actor, writer and musician.  “I don’t play by the rules,” says the no-nonsense, straight-talking musician, ever since his chart-topping debut album, 2016’s “Redneck Shit.”

While Wheeler has undoubtedly made a major name for himself in recent years by shaking up the country music industry. He now has his eyes set on ripping down new goalposts. It’s why he now returns with Ram, his boldest effort yet a 10-track, Dave Cobb-produced LP, hard charging hurricane of a rock album that’s every bit as pummeling, raunchy and riotous as his best work to date.

What excites Wheeler the most, he says, is the thrill of living on the edge. Following last year’s Sex, Drugs & Country Music, an album Wheeler says was purposely a party album following the dismal COVID years, he channeled his pent-up anger this go-round into Ram. The Ram era kicked off in earnest with a call to the Grammy-winning Cobb, Wheeler’s trusted confidante and one of the most successful producers in recent years having helmed records for an array of celebrated artists from Chris Stapleton to Sammy Hagar and Jason Isbell.

It's this attitude, take me for who I am, that has always endeared Wheeler to his legion of hardcore fans. And its why his live show is and always has been paramount to his career. There’s a certain kinship with his fans, Wheeler explains, one that goes far deeper than the music itself.
