Ain’t Dead Yet completes Joshua Ray Walker’s three-album sequence written during and after his treatment for colon cancer, following Tropicana and Stuff. Here the Dallas songwriter turns more directly toward the emotional effects of surviving a serious illness.
Chasing Sunsets sets a reflective tone, drawing on his own experiences rather than the fictional characters of his earlier records. The songs leave room for uncertainty, gratitude and humor alongside the fear, carried by Walker’s distinctive country singing.
