We are immensely proud to present Wes Tirey's new album, Wes Tirey Sings Selected Works of Billy the Kid. This is an extraordinary record with literary heft. The words are by the iconic novelist and poet Michael Ondaatje from his novel in verse, The Collected Works of Billy the Kid. Wes Tirey arranged, performed and recorded the music to achieve a "past era" sound that matches the color and timbre of the poems. The album's dynamic features include songs, spoken word and instrumentals.
A super limited edition of 250, the sand gold vinyl LP comes out in July 2024. Thank you to everyone who already ordered a record. They're going fast!
Wes Tirey Sings Selected Works of Billy the Kid is available on vinyl LP and digital. Order your copy today before they're all gone.
An awesome group of folks worked on this album to make it the fine thing it is. Amazing artists, all.
