Wilson Jr., a man of many talents - boxer, scientist, and songwriter - pours his heart into each track, weaving a cathartic rock and roll narrative. Released precisely five years after his father's passing, søn of dad emerges as a high-energy testament to love and loss.

Wilson Jr.'s journey from the rugged landscapes of southern Indiana to the vibrant streets of Nashville is nothing short of extraordinary.
