There’s a wholesomeness about Grant Maloy Smith’s music that will surely resonate with country fans, both of the older ilk who love their tunes to reflect heartland values and aesthetics, and newer listeners who lean towards rootsy singer-songwriter fare. Smith is clearly a seasoned storyteller who relishes singing about his country (his last album was titled Dust Bowl - American Stories and his latest is called Wild West: American Stories).

His newest tracks, “Go West Boys,” “Voices on the Wind,” and “Tear Trail,” meld twangy touches with a spirited optimism that aims to bring new perspectives on the past, and it does so with earnestness.
