Ain't Dead Yet is Walker's time capsule of the past three years. Standing on the other side, it's also a dedication to the future. "I'm really grateful to have a second chance, and I'm also grateful to have lived through thinking I was going to die. It gives you perspective in a way you really can't fake until you've actually done it; in a way, it was kind of a gift," Walker says, though sometimes a new beginning also feels like a lot to live up to. "I faced death; I almost lost my house; I got engaged; We lost most of our belongings to flood and mold; I've had loved ones die; I almost lost my entire music catalog. It's been a lot, good and bad. I'm just a much different person," he continues. "I'm very intentional with my time, and I'm a lot happier, even though things have been hard, I genuinely do think I'm happier. It's been a pretty wild transformation."
