Known as co-founder of the three-time Grammy nominated BR549, the honky-tonk heroes that almost single-handedly lit and carried the blowtorch for the mid-'90s Alternative Country explosion. Hailed as The Hillbilly Renaissance Man for his subsequent successes as a songwriter, performer, producer and director, one of the most uncompromising and consistent talents in the American roots music movement, Chuck Mead at last emerges with the most anticipated role of his career: Solo Artist. The tracks on Journeyman's Wager embody not only the core of country music, but also the pulse of R&B, hillbilly rock, Gospel and beyond.
