Is there anything special you’re doing to get yourself ready? I didn’t make an album so I could figure out how big of a cooler we need to buy for the van, that’s not where my expertise is. And figuring out how to get all these fuckers in the van, like you know, all the shit you never wanted to think about when you started playing music is happening right now. It’s all this fuckin’ bullshit of the shit I’m not used to, which is like, I gotta buy extra underwear and shirts because I don’t want to wear the same fucking shirt onstage every night in case I’m sweatin’. I’m out in LA doing press, then and I gotta go back to Nashville, and then we’re leaving for the first tour. What are you up to on this Saturday afternoon? You seem to lead a pretty over the top lifestyle. Recently he took the time to shoot the shit about the tour, his music, and pissing off as many people along the way as he possibly can. is getting ready to kick up some dust and hit the road for his first tour, which kicks off in Lawrence, Kansas on May 31 st. Right behind that is the more noble goal of proving that you don’t need to follow Nashville’s rules to win the ears of country music fans. is that, whether through his music or his ongoing Twitter feuds with every pop country douchebag, his primary goal is pissing people off. Obviously, someone singing country tunes about fucking your way up the family tree or fightin’, fuckin’ and fartin’ is going to piss off a few people, including snobby music critics (also more on that later). That may be why some are quick to dismiss Redneck Shit as just another joke record, or that it has upset at least a few people in our politically correct, everything-offends-me society (including Wynonna Judd, but more on that later). is actually the alter ego of comedian Benjamin Hoffman, known for The Ben Show, which ran for one season on Comedy Central in 2013. Based on its high ranking on the Billboard and iTunes country charts, it was clear people couldn’t resist the catchiness of lines like “Sit on my face cuz I ain’t too picky/ride my mouth ‘till your puss gets sticky and all” (“Sit On My Face”), among others.Īll signs point to the fact that Wheeler Walker Jr. actually put out an album of damn fine outlaw country music using top notch Nashville players. On top of that, once you stop laughing at the absurd profanity of the lyrics you can come to terms with the fact that Wheeler Walker Jr. But perhaps more shocking than the in-your-face raunchiness of the lyrics is the fact that Redneck Shit was produced by Dave Cobb, the Grammy-winning producer best known for his work with artists like Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton and Jason Isbell. With song titles like “Beer, Weed, Cooches”, “Can’t Fuck You Off My Mind”, “Eatin’ Pussy Kickin’ Ass”, “Better Off Beatin’ Off” and “Which One O’ You Queers Is Gonna Suck My Dick”, this is country music aimed at getting a rise out of the Nashville establishment. Posing suggestively with one leg bent at the knee, Wheeler looked like he was taunting all of Nashville with a look that said, “y’all can go ahead and suck my dick”. Sitting right between the pop-country garbage of Luke Bryan and Little Big Town at a comfy #9 was a fella by the name of Wheeler Walker Jr. Back in March the country music establishment did a collective double take when a mysterious name suddenly showed up on the Billboard Top 10 Country Charts.
