Like many of us, over the course of the past year, Rhett Walker and his family have found refuge and solace in music—specifically music that reminds them of what’s true. On his new single, “Gospel Song,” Walker flips the script with an original song that reminds listeners of the truth.
“I could listen to my heart. I could listen to the world. I could listen to my problems. But what I think I need to hear, nice and loud and crystal clear, is about the Who’s gonna solve them,” the father of four sings.

This past year, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, safer-at-home orders, and civil and political unrest, Walker chose to drown out the heartbreaking headlines by turning up the volume on his favorite Gospel-infused tunes. And in doing so, he filled his home with more faith than fear.
“This song kind of came out of 2020 for us as a family. We just wanted to sing a song that talked about joy and peace and happiness in such a weird time in America,” the singer shares of the upbeat track. “The reminder’s there that there’s joy to be found, and sometimes it takes turning on a Gospel song and dancing around the house.”
Walker, his wife April, and their four kids—Rileigh, Jett, Autumn, and Cash—do just that in the video for “Gospel Song.” The family of six hosts a dance party in their living room, makes cleaning up the kitchen feel less like a chore and more like a game, and gathers around a backyard campfire roasting s’mores—all while celebrating faith, family, and life’s simple pleasures.

“Gospel Song” is the first taste of new music from Walker since he released his 10-track Good To Me album early last year. The “Believer” singer is currently co-headlining a string of safe and socially-distanced concerts alongside Cochren & Co. this spring.
Fans who can’t make it out to a show can listen to Walker weekly on his new podcast in partnership with AccessMore, “Front Porch Gospel with Rhett Walker.” Each episode centers around faith, family, and freedom.
