Folk, rockabilly and lonesome cowboy waltzes mingle in Seattle-based Wes Weddell's songs. A troubadour in the truest sense, Weddell sings of broken hearts, winds upon the plains and "gortex [and] grass skirts."

The highlight of the record is "You Left Me With No Choice." "My heart still beats your number every evening," sings Weddell, giving loneliness a new rhythm.

Instrumentation is sparse, mostly acoustic guitar, bass and brushes on a snare, while banjo, fiddle and Hammond organ are friendly neighbors who peek their heads over the fencefrom time to time. If you’re looking for a folksinger for your road-tripping, take Wes Weddell along for the ride.

Ooo, ahhh; a little whoopie ti-yi; and maybe a
little sigh of relief: the new Wes Weddell record
is here, and it's a great pleasure to say that it's a
great, great album...  The sound of this album is
pretty Country, as Weddell is backed by big, fat
strumming and fiddling, some banjo and backup
vocals, sprinklings of mando, cello and whistle,
plus some occasional organ and drums.  Let there be no doubt: Wes Weddell is a major Northwest artist, a major talent in American music, and he's here for the long haul.

As in the finest storytelling, the emotion is conveyed by the details, the plainly narrated actions, and the growing sense of the humanness of the people involved.
