Race Ricketts Talks New Record & Road Life | Episode 107

Cole Sheriff sits down with Race Ricketts at Heim Barbecue in Weatherford for a deep dive into his brand-new 14-song project New Settlers Reunion and the reality of life as a working Texas artist.

Race shares what it’s like balancing weekend touring with real life, building routines on the road, and navigating the highs and challenges of the “weekend warrior” grind.

The conversation also explores songwriting inspiration, from writing in the mountains of New Mexico to selecting the final tracks that shaped the record.

Plus, they get into the resurgence of vinyl, the importance of full albums in a singles-driven era, and what’s next for Race as he continues to grow his sound.
