WHY WHISKEY WHY?

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 16:34:32 GMT

WHY WHISKEY WHY? TENNESSEE STRAIGHT...

Rob rolls out one final single for 2025 - a brand new version of his fan favourite

"Why Whiskey Why?"...

Not only is this the final single release of a very exciting 2025, it is also the final single from the Leave Tomorrow project.. The number one country album will close out the year with a full

Deluxe Archive edition, which will contain in-depth behind the scenes versions of songs,

such as demos, live tracks and alternate mixes - just as we saw for the

Little Ghost and Ten Embers deluxe albums.

It is probably apt that "Whiskey" is the choice for the final single, as it has become a real favourite amongst fans and was a true highlight of the UK summer tour, it being the song closing the set on each night. The live version was the source of inspiration for this brand new mix - dubbed "Tennessee Straight" - the fiddle which featured on the live track replaces the electric guitars, and is joined by dust bowl slide and pedal steel - plus a much quicker dancier tempo, giving it a definite line-dancing vibe!! This is a true traditional country flavoured "Whiskey"...

The song is released a few days before Rob heads into hospital for a much needed second operation of the year, and he is hoping fans will give him a dream send off for this short hiatus with a number 1 country single, to join his number 1 album!!!

The spelling may also catch your eye - the original single has the Scottish spelling w-h-i-s-k-y..

But as Rob himself points out - this song is definitely about bourbon.. and Tennessee Straight bourbon whiskey has the "E" for sure... so at least you'll alwas know which version you are drinking - or in this case, listening to!!

Why Whiskey Why? Tennessee Straight - is out October 2025 and you can save it here and the pre-order is only 59p on iTunes which count towards chart places so a purchase there would be very very much appreciated by Rob, his team and all this family.. WHY WHISKEY WHY?

BUILDING OUR OWN NASHVILLE

BUILDING OUR OWN NASHVILLE

LIVE REVIEW BY GEORGETTE BROOKES

On Sunday 5th May, Rob Wheeler and his band, The Hushtones, played their first ever headline gig in their hometown, Alsager, as part of Wheeler’s ‘Leave Tomorrow’ tour. Friends, family and fans of all ages showed up to the The Manor Housewhere the gig was played – an event that sold out within three days of the ticket launch.

Opening with the eponymous track, ‘Leave Tomorrow’, the energy from all band members is palpable – matched second only to the pride emanating from loved ones in the crowd. During this track, Kath Ord makes her first introduction on the fiddle, setting the tone for the rest of the night. Ord creates a sound that Wheeler will no doubt be renown for when the album is released, much like Tyler Childers or Charlie Daniels.

As the first song finishes, Wheeler and the band are met with a room of applause. “You’ll hear the word Nashville a lot tonight,” Wheeler jokes as he talks to the crowd about where this new album was written. There is an endearing humility to Wheeler as he shares his story of being welcomed to the revered ‘home of country music’. His band, particularly bass player Paul Adams, share loving banter (band-ter? No? OK) with him throughout the night, making the gig ever more personal.

Wheeler introduces his second song, ‘My Nashville Song’, as one he wrote with Jeff Trott. Trott is a writer and producer over in Nashville and made his fame through writing on a lot of Sheryl Crow’s songs.

“Did I mention I’d been to…Tennessee?” The joke continues as we’re introduced to ‘Whisper’, a song written at Carnival Music on Music Row, Nashville. Wheeler was booked in for a song writing session, but the other party never showed. Frank Lidell, one of the founders of Carnival Music, encouraged Wheeler to take a room anyway and ‘see what happens’.

“No one writes three chord songs anymore,” Wheeler imitates Lidell in quite possibly the best Texan accent this side of the Atlantic, “you know who wrote great three chord songs…The Beatles”. Those who have known Wheeler a while know that Beatles tribute acts were his bread and butter while he was starting out. Intentional or not, this was a nice little nod to his roots and recognising his journey.

Following on with some upbeat numbers, ‘Why, Whiskey Why’ – a love story about a hangover and an absolute bop, and ‘I’m Not Afraid to Fall’ – written with Marla Cannon-Goodman. Ord’s fiddle still prevalent, whatever the tempo.

Wheeler closes out the first half with ‘When You Can’t Let Go’ – a touching number inspired by the passing of his best friend, Marcus. He remains well composed as he tackles the poignant song, opening with just him and his guitar and slowly bringing in the full band for an emotive finish.

Wheeler kicks the second half off with a strong opening from Ord on the fiddle and Ash Clay on the drums during ‘Warning’, followed by ‘Something About Your Eyes’ – written with Steve Dorff.

Wheeler plays a couple of his earlier songs from back when he made the choice to move into the country genre – ‘She Would Not Be You’ and ‘Broken Faith’. The latter was inspired by a rainy graveyard he observed from a bus and Wheeler hits the melancholy in both his vocals and his guitar.

Paying tribute to his grandma who is currently unwell, Wheeler shares a story with us about when he was younger and his grandma told him he could hear the ocean when he put a shell to his ear. A story most children who’ve spent any time on the beach are familiar with, but most children wouldn’t be able to take that story and spin it into a heart-rending song like Rob Wheeler.

Just him and his guitar, Wheeler demonstrates his true vocal talent. His voice is gritty and passionate and his guitar playing virtuoso. Wheeler pours his soul onto the stage for this – for his grandma – and is quite possibly the best song of the evening.

Bringing back his full band – and taking a minute to ground himself after being so vulnerable – the tempo is flipped back to an upbeat final set of songs; ‘Goodbye Summer’, ‘Waterfalls’ – a country, bluesy interpretation of the 90s RnB hit by TLC, ‘Save Me’ – dedicated to one of his fans, Martin Henderson, who had travelled from Preston to be there, and ‘Mount Juliette’.

Wheeler also paid tribute to another audience member – the BBC’s very own Chris Baxter from BBC Radio Gloucester, who has championed Wheeler and his music for a long time.

With a crowd still wanting more, Wheeler and his band played ‘There Ain’t No Loving You’ in which all musicians showcased their reputable talents: Clay adding his flair on drums, the joyous Stevie Tams on the keys – a delight to both watch and listen to – and the ever-cool Paul Adams on the bass.

Wheeler and his band closed out the show with ‘Lantern’ – a fan favourite off his Ten Embers album and one he loves to finish his shows with. The crowd were singing along with him and most gave him a standing ovation to finish.

It’s no easy feat rolling out a tour without the album to match but Wheeler and The Hushtones seem to be doing just fine. By way of apology, every audience member received an exclusive free CD – The Nashville Sessions – featuring acoustic tracks from the album.

Wheeler and his band have been playing together for years and their relationship with each other and the crowd is warm and enjoyable to be part of. Wheeler involves the audience in his song choices, much like a Nashville style writers’ round, sharing his inspirations behind the lyrics and melodies.

It was, of course, a shame to see a few empty seats at the gig, considering how many fans were desperate to try and make the show to both see and support Wheeler.

Neil McCormick on Ten Embers

Thu, 17 Feb 2022 16:31:49 GMT

Neil McCormick reviews Ten Embers...

"Channelling classic 70s country rock with a 21st Century anthemic drive and a hearty dose of Northern grit, Ten Embers glows. He may not be particularly fashionable or cutting edge, but Rob Wheeler's got the big songs, full of heart and passion, flowing melodies and wide-screen ambition. There are household name artists who would kill for tracks as heartfelt as New York City Lights, Brothers, Love Somebody (Too) and No Way Home... In fact, there are household names that just wish they were this good"

The official lead single from Rob's new album Ten Embers arrives on all Digital Streaming Platforms; March 5th. Accompanied by a brand new music video... Reviews have been amazing for this breezy pop tune which Rob himself describes as a "happy break-up song".

Reviews:

“Rob's soulful voice is a beautiful thing and on his classy new single “Ain't No Lovin’ You” it really connects. Lush production, jazzy horns and guitar legend Robbie McIntosh's wonderful dobro playing makes it sound like a lost classic. Gorgeous”.

Steve Balsamo - Award Winning Vocalist/Composer/Actor.

“Classy and infectious”

Paul Sexton - Jou r nalist & Broadcaster - BBC Radio 2/Virgin/Emirates.

With so many artists releasing new tracks right now, it takes something special to grab my attention. Ain’t No Lovin’ You from singer & songwriter Rob Wheeler certainly ticks all the boxes. Rob knows how to hook you from the very start of the track, keeps you hanging on to every note and leaves you wanting more. Robs unique vocals will appeal to all who appreciate easy listening with that modern edge that he masters so well. You know it’s a hit when you keep playing it over and over again and can’t stop singing “Ain’t No Lovin’ You”.

Terry Love - Broadcaster - Danesound Radio.

“Rob Wheeler is a very promising newcomer in the singer-songwriter stakes. His single “Ain’t No Loving You” has immediate appeal... a well crafted song, beautifully sung.”

Roger McCormick - Broadcaster - Brooklands Radio

“Really great! It has a John Mayer feel to it which I love; it’s a really cool song. Rob has a talent - obviously - but it’s his tone that I really like, there’s a real quality to his voice. Top work!”

Mark Kaye - Music Photographer/ Former Head of Music & Broadcaster XFM/Juice FM/Hits Radio

If you are searching for the elusive feel good factor , relax, the search is over. Rob Wheeler has delivered 11 out of 10 with his new song "Ain't No Lovin' You", catchy, emotive, instantly recognisable and a simple joy to sing along with.

This song has happy written all over it and it's guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone who's lucky enough to hear it.

Eric Furze - Broadcaster - Stafford FM
