notes
Seattle singer/songwriter Wes Weddell follows up 2001's "My Northwest Home" with another strong effort at home on the road.
"Songs to Get You From Here to There" features twelve original songs that span the in-between places and experiences that make us human. From "Carry On," the poignant, true story of a World War II bomber pilot that won the 2006 Tumbleweed Music Festival Songwriting Contest, to the rockabilly romp of "You Left Me With No Choice"; the steady and playful drive of "Every Now & Then a Sunset" to the contemplative turns of "Autumn's Calling" and "Hills That I Call Home"--the stories remind one that journeys come every day.
Produced by Weddell with Alicia Healey and Chris Glanister, Songs expands upon an acoustic framework with a fuller-band sound on many numbers. Guest musicians include Joe Jencks (harmony), Brian Hoskins (organ), David Bush (drums), Amanda Larson (cello), Bob Antone (fiddle), and Erin Clancy, a high school classmate of Wes' whose duet vocal carries the revisionist cowboy-waltz "White Hats & Wild Times."

Fantastic album......straight to heart lyrics and awesome playing.......Really good music
Folk meets fockabilly meets lonesome cowboy waltzes
author: Performing Songwriter MagazineFolk, 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.
Here for the long haul
author: Tom Petersen, Victory Music ReviewOoo, 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.
Fine storytelling
author: Bill Fisher, Victory Music ReviewAs 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.
