The country music up-and-comer steps up with a swaggering good-time tune.
Will Wesley may be a relative newcomer to the world of country music, but he’s been around long enough to spot the phonies and the posers. And he’s not afraid to call out “the paper-dollar cowboys and watered-down whiskey with a twang” in “Honky Tonk USA,” his rousingly defiant celebration of everything that’s right — and dissing of everything that’s wrong — with contemporary country.
“As a boy,” Wesley told C&I, “my childhood was filled with the sounds of true ‘outlaw’ country. I wrote ‘Honky Tonk USA’ with my country heroes in mind. I’m a country rocker, but I believe that the songs of yesterday never die — and I want to preserve that!
“Here’s to Waylon, Willie, Tompall, and Jessi! Thank you to Cowboys & Indians for your support in premiering this video.”
