Texas country mainstay Jon Wolfe is back with a brand-new anthem that doubles as a time capsule and a mission statement. His latest release, “The Older I Get (More Country I’m Gettin’ to Be),” is out now on all digital platforms, and it’s Wolfe at his most honest, most grounded, and perhaps most country yet.

Produced by longtime creative partner Dave Brainard and co-written with Tony Ramey, the song is a warm, reflective track that nods to Wolfe’s small-town roots and the legends who shaped his sound. With references to Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings woven throughout, the track doesn’t just name-check, it builds on the values and storytelling that defined their legacy.

From the crackle of dad’s old truck radio to the smoke curling off a Saturday barbecue, “The Older I Get” is a song that captures the feeling of home, no matter where you’re from. But make no mistake: this isn’t a retreat into the past. It’s a declaration of identity from an artist who’s spent years building a fiercely loyal fanbase across Texas and beyond.

Wolfe’s blend of traditional country sensibilities, sharp songwriting, and independent grit continues to resonate. In an industry often chasing trends, Wolfe doubles down on timelessness. No smoke and mirrors. No fluff. Just country.
