Now a Billboard Charting Album: Tim Wolf's "Raised In South Dakota"

ABOUT THIS RELEASE

Now a Billboard Charting Album (#12 Billboard Blues Albums – Week of August 8, 2026), Raised In South Dakota captures a defining chapter in Tim Wolf's musical journey—rooted in the place where it all began.

Written during his years living in South Dakota, all ten original songs reflect the early foundation of his artistry, long before moving to Nashville to pursue music full-time. The remaining tracks are songs he learned to love and performed in cover bands during those years, helping shape the sound, guitar style, and storytelling that define his music today.

One special addition is "South Dakota," originally recorded by Chris Stapleton on his 2023 album Higher. From the moment Tim heard it, he knew it belonged on this record—its spirit and tone perfectly captured the essence of the album.

With blues-driven guitar work, expressive solos, heartfelt lyrics, and nearly an hour of music, Raised In South Dakota takes listeners through the memories, experiences, and influences that shaped Tim's path. Now recognized as a Billboard Blues Charting Album, it has connected with blues fans across the country while remaining deeply personal to Tim's own musical journey.

"I hope the music on this album entertains, reaches, touches and moves you, and perhaps helps you feel and express emotions and situations in your own life."
— Tim Wolf
