After a decade, Wheeler Walker Jr. is hanging up his microphone, officially announcing his retirement publicly today, Monday, June 8. Dubbed "country music's last real outlaw," the crooner isn't doing it quietly, either, as he's "riding off into the sunset, flipping double birds at Music Row the entire way out," according to a press release shared directly with Parade.
Before he departs from music, though, Walker is releasing one final album with an accompanying farewell tour, Pullin' Out, described as "a loud, filthy, bourbon-soaked middle finger aimed directly at the soul-less machine of modern Nashville."
“I can’t do this anymore,” Walker said in the release of his decision to retire, taking direct aim at the current country music landscape and AI: “Every song in Nashville is written by twelve idiots named Chase about trucks they don’t own and farms they never worked on. I really don't wanna be around when country music becomes fully AI, which sadly will be better than most of the crap they're putting out now.”
His sixth record produced by Grammy Award-winning Dave Cobb, the project is a "return to the hard-core country he knows and loves," following a detour into rock with his last album, 2023's Ram.
Like his previous work, it's said to be no-holds-barred: "Packed with savage commentary, gloriously offensive honesty, heartbreak, hangovers, and at least three songs that’ll probably get banned before release day, the record promises to remind fans what country music sounded like before the algorithms."
Walker first made waves with his debut album, the satirical, X-rated Redneck Sh*t, in February 2016. He made history by becoming the first-ever artist to simultaneously debut on the Billboard Top Comedy Albums and Top Country Albums charts, per Billboard.
On his last tour, the country artist is set to hit major markets across North America for the last time ever, hitting Los Angeles, Boston, Seattle, Austin, Detroit, and multiple cities throughout Canada, with the final farewell show taking place at the Ryman on May 15, 2027. Tickets for Pullin' Out: The Farewell Tourgo on sale Friday, June 12, at 10 AM.
