Following on from a summer of success, Rob Wheeler releases a jam-packed super deluxe version of his critically-acclaimed, BCMA nominated, Number 1 country album “Leave Tomorrow”.
The album is released on December 11th and features a deep dive into the creation of the album itself, including behind the scenes demos and unplugged live versions recorded in Nashville. It is a musical “making of” documentary and offers an emotional and revealing insight into the journey of the album’s creation and the artist who created it.
Rob Wheeler’s Leave Tomorrow album (published by Bucks Music Group) has been nominated album of the year at the 2025 British Country Music Association awards, and with a growing reputation for his live shows following a successful headline UK tour in summer 2025, he and his band have also been asked to headline the awards ceremony.
The album was written and recorded over a four month period in Nashville TN, featuring collaborations with Steve Dorff (Songwriter Hall of Fame) Jeff Trott (BMI Songwriter of the Year) Fred Eltringham (ACM Drummer of the Year) and Grammy Award winner Frank Liddell and his songwriting team at Carnival Music.
The album hit number one on the UK country music chart upon its release ahead of Morgan Wallen and Beyonce and garnered widespread critical acclaim and extended radio play, including spots on the BBC, CountryLine and Absolute Radio Country on Baylen Leonard’s celebrated Front Porch show.
Amongst the many favourable reviews it received, the album had a featured article in Record Collector magazine and was awarded 5/5 stars by R&R magazine – the only 5 star country album in the June edition. The British Country Music press were particularly impressed by the production value of the album, marking it as a record to rival the quality of it’s American contemporaries.
The single “Why Whiskey Why?” became a particular radio favourite, A-listed by multiple regional and specialist country stations, and was selected by Apple Music for the prestigious “New In Country” editorial playlist; and the official music video for “Goodbye Summer” launched on Vevo and has amassed over a quarter of a million views to date.
Rob is returning to Nashville in early 2026 to record the follow up album; “Hometown” – which is a direct sequel to “Leave Tomorrow”, the concept being that no matter where you go, what you do or who you meet along the way, you can always find your way back home again. This sentiment perfectly aligns with Rob’s passion for his Nashville connections and the love for his rural Cheshire home, or as he puts it – “the countryside with a side of country!”
