Joshua Ray Walker’s unique brand of country music is ‘distinctly Dallas’

By Michael Marks & Caroline Covington, November 22, 2021 

“Joshua Ray Walker‘s songs would sound right at home on the classic country charts. At the same time, his sound is unmistakably his own. The artist, who wrote a trilogy of albums about the last night at a honky tonk – well-worn songwriting territory for the country genre – is an original. And now, he’s released this third album for Dallas’ State Fair Records, “See You Next Time.”

Walker joined Texas Standard to talk about his career and what he thinks was the turning point, when dive bar audiences started to pay attention to his songwriting. Listen to the interview in the audio player above or read the transcript below.
