"Folk meets rockabilly meets lonesome cowboy waltzes."
-Performing Songwriter Magazine

"Wes Weddell has a gift for story-telling, wisdom beyond his years, and a troubadour spirit that will serve him and his audience for a long time to come."
-Fran Snyder, concertsinyourhome.com

"Modern-Day Woody Guthrie"
-Seattle Times

"A refreshing throwback in these days of synthesized, digitalized, commercialized performers and performances."
-Walla Walla (Wash.) Union-Bulletin

"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... We are the better for it."
-Bill Fisher, Victory Music Review
