Preston Woolsey - Bubba Vinyl LP

How do you write a worthy tribute to man’s best friend? This is the question behind Preston Woolsey’s album Bubba, an intimate ode to the childhood dog that saw Woolsey through his darkest years.

The album, out May 30, 2025 on Brooklyn-based label Rose Garden, tells the intertwining stories of the New Orleans-based musician and his family dog Boudreaux in ten gut-wrenching songs that capture the glorious highs and unbearable lows of love and loss.

Around the same time Woolsey left home to enlist in the Air Force, Boudreaux was diagnosed with cancer. “Every time I’d go home, I’d think this is it, this is the last time,” he says. “What do you say to your dog when you know it’s going to be the last thing you say?”

“I’m gonna be writing songs about Boudreaux until the day I die,” says Woolsey. “I just need the world to know he existed.”
