Whiskey Myers Earns RIAA Gold for "Trailer We Call Home"

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has awarded a Gold certification to "Trailer We Call Home," a track by the Texas-based band Whiskey Myers. The certification, dated November 6, 2025, recognizes 500,000 units in sales and streaming equivalents in the United States. Originally released on September 8, 2016, the song is a key track from the group's fourth studio album, Mud, which was released on their independent label, Wiggy Thump Records.

Emerging from Tyler, Texas, in 2007, Whiskey Myers has cultivated a dedicated fanbase by blending the sounds of Southern rock, red dirt, and outlaw country. The six-piece band is known for its high-energy live performances, having played more than 2,500 shows throughout their career. Their relentless touring schedule has included headlining iconic venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheater and Ryman Auditorium, as well as appearances at major festivals like Bonnaroo and Stagecoach. In a significant career moment, the band was personally selected to open for The Rolling Stones' Chicago stadium show in 2019.

As an independent act, Whiskey Myers has achieved considerable commercial success, selling more than 1.5 million albums and amassing over 2 billion streams. Their fifth studio album, Whiskey Myers, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Country and Americana/Folk sales charts and No. 6 on the all-genre Billboard 200. The band's profile was further elevated by features in film and television, most notably with an on-screen appearance and multiple song placements in the Paramount series Yellowstone. Praised by Esquire as "the real damn deal," the Gold status for "Trailer We Call Home" adds to the four RIAA Gold and Platinum certifications the band has earned independently.
