In the Spotlight

"Wes McClelland's song, 'What I Know Now' is a rare find in today’s landscape—a song that feels both nostalgic and necessary. McClelland proves that a 25-year “intermission” wasn’t a delay; it was a preparation. By the time the final chord fades, you aren’t just listening to a singer; you’re listening to a man who has finally found his way back home.

If this single is any indication of what’s to come on his full-length project, the “Modern Traditionalist” movement just found its new MVP. — Christian Lamitschka for Country Music News International Magazine

"I really like the old-school nature of Wes McClelland's, 'A Double Shot Of Daisy.' I grew up on a lot of the artists he's touching on, and it's so refreshing to hear their legacies live on through his sound. Brian Setzer, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, I hear a lot of that free-flowing, light, fun rockabilly swing in this track acting as a reminder that music can also have a lot of fun instead of being purely serious. And honestly, I feel like rockabilly isn't as well-remembered as it should be, so to see Wes McClelland acting as a lantern in the dark holding up that sound is such a cool thing that I want to be a part of. — Chris Hedden, journalist for On The BAck Edge Of The Beat
