Creed Fisher On His New Album “Whiskey & The Dog,” Metal Influences, Future Plans & More

With over 22 million combined streams on Spotify and over 17 million views on YouTube with past releases, Texas born and bred southern rock artist Creed Fisher is gearing up for the release of a new album, Whiskey & The Dog. Due out on October 22, 2021 via Dirt Rock Empire — as distributed by CMDSHFT — the 14-track album reflects Fisher’s hardships, outlaw living and blue-collar lifestyle, representing a community of hard-working men and women. Produced by Bart Rose, Josh Rodgers and Fisher, Whiskey & The Dog is currently available for pre-sale through all major digital and physical retailers and features 11 songs written entirely by Fisher himself; Fisher co-wrote the other 3 songs.

Currently, Creed Fisher is on tour in support of his most recent album release, How Country Music Sounded Before It All Went To Shit, Vol. 1, and is experiencing success at Texas radio. With his last 3 albums debuting in the Top 5 on iTunes, Fisher hopes his new album Whiskey & The Dog continues to help him defy the odds. His previous singles, “Rock & Roll Man,” “Be The Hope,” “I’m Growing Older, But I’m Not Growing Up” and “A Few Good Ol’ Cowboys” all hit Top 10, Top 25, or Top 30 on the Texas Charts. Fisher was also named the “BigStar97 Outlaw Country Artist Of The Year” in 2018.

On September 29, 2021, I had the pleasure of speaking with Creed Fisher via Zoom, as embedded below. Beyond Whiskey & The Dog, we spoke about Fisher’s metal influences and plans for another studio album. More on Fisher and Whiskey & The Dog can be found by clicking here, here and here.
