Dallas native singer Joshua Ray Walker releases 'What Is It Even?' a collection of covers by female singers. And he's reclaiming his confidence.
David McClisteris a light-hearted and fun-loving collection of pop songs. But behind the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, pink-fur-wrapped portrait that adorns the album’s cover is a story that has been ubiquitous for generations, now more than ever: the universal struggle and desire to be seen for who you are.
Confidence didn’t come overnight for the East Dallas native. At the age of 13, Walker already stood 6 feet tall and towered over his peers. Even then, he was thought of as different. Around the same time, he began growing his hair long and would often get mistaken for a woman or addressed as “ma’am,” something that caused the young musician to feel embarrassed and disheartened.
The transformations that have taken place in Walker’s ongoing journey of creating authentic art and refusing to give way completely to the traditional country music genre or to compromise his stylistic choices to become anyone’s torch bearer have been well documented. And that’s one of the reasons for the concept album, to see how far he could push himself.
Walker isn’t new to singing songs as a character in the first-person. His first three original albums offer plenty of character studies, a handful of which are from the female perspective.
Walker’s response to the debacle felt akin to the Anderson Cooper interview with Lady Gaga in which Cooper asked if there were any truth to the rumor that Gaga has a “male appendage” and is a “hermaphrodite.” While sucking on a diamond, Gaga replied, “Why the hell am I going to waste my time and give a press release about whether or not I have a penis? My fans don’t care and neither do I.”
