MIX 56 CHESHIRE'S BEST MUSIC MIX
The brilliant UK country music sensation Rob Wheeler joined Ian in the studio for a morning filled with great conversation, laughter and of course – some fantastic tunes!
The timing couldn’t have been more exciting — Rob’s brand-new single, a refreshed and reimagined version of his fan favourite Why Whiskey Why? (Tennessee Straight Mix) is set for release tomorrow!
With three number one albums already to his name, there’s a real buzz in the air — could this be Rob’s first single to top the country charts too?
It wouldn’t be a surprise, especially after the success of his latest album – Leave Tomorrow – which has just been nominated for Album of the Year at the British Country Music Awards. What a fantastic achievement!
But amidst all the excitement, it’s also a time of reflection for Rob.
He’s preparing to undergo throat surgery this weekend — a worrying prospect for any singer.
True to form though, Rob is approaching it with courage, optimism, and the unwavering support of his incredible fans across the globe.
He expects to be out of action for around six weeks, using the time to rest, heal and plan his next musical chapter.
Because if there’s one thing we know and love about Rob Wheeler, it’s that he never stops creating.
Even while recovering, ideas for his next album are already taking shape — proof that his passion and determination shine as brightly as his talent.
From everyone here at MIX56, we’re sending Rob all our love and best wishes for a smooth and speedy recovery.
Why Whiskey Why will be our song of the week next week – and we’ll be spinning it a lot on air – but be sure to download your copy (only 59p on iTunes) and let’s see if we can get Rob to Number 1!
