Here's Caitlin.

My guest today is someone who I've had the pleasure of speaking with in the past.

We found out two years ago, right?

It's been two years. I really thought it was a year. Too long. But it's definitely time for us to catch up because we said two years ago we said you need to come on in a year and talk about everything that you've done. Yes. So now you must have a lot of built-up information for me after two years.

I'm ready to

vomit all that's happened over the past few years. So you're a singer-songwriter originally from

Alabama. You've toured with artists including Kelsey Ballerini, Dan and Shea, Thomas Rett, Old

Dominion, many more, which those are huge. Yeah. You're huge, so there you go.

That voice is Walker Hayes. And this year you are set out to headline your very own tour, right? Called Dream on it? Yeah. Well, we did that. You did it already? Yeah. You already done it? We did it. Fares and festivals. Yeah, we're cruising right now. Right now we're doing nothing. I don't even know.

Oh, that's nice.

We just released a new 8-track.

Yes.

Called Black Sheep. So that's kind of high on the priority list as far as like things I need to sell to your listeners. Yeah. So tell us about it. Yeah. So I do the first, the thing that started my whole career was music we gave away for free. Yeah. And we did them on these things called eight tracks. And the first one is called Good Shit. And the second one was called Break the Internet. And they did well. One reason they did well is because they were free. Yes. And, but people, the music circulated. And honestly, that's still the music that fans know the most like the diehard fans love

the eight tracks more than albums and yeah and so i couldn't wait to put another one of those out so we

just did one called black sheep and it's just so it's a it's such a great i mean i'm so proud of

the project it's it's theTracks are songs about my kids.

Uh, they're about my struggles with alcoholism. They're about anything that's real life. So, you know, going into a writer's room, there's no rules. Yeah. Production-wise, they're just crazy. And, um, they're not fixed. I'm not a huge fan of polished. Like, I don't really love making albums.
