Wheeler Walker Jr. joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for a spirited conversation about his final album, final tour, the changing country music industry, and why he says he's ready to walk away while he's still on top. Wheeler explains how writing his new album Pulling Out ultimately helped him realize it was time to call it a career. After 10 years of doing things completely independently and entirely his own way, he says he's told the story he wanted to tell and would rather leave while he still loves performing than stick around until the fun disappears. But before he goes, Wheeler has PLENTY to say. No filter. No label. No regrets. Wheeler Walker Jr. is pulling out and he's doing it his way.
