‘At Dawning (I Love You)’ is an old opera song, written in 1906 by Nelle Richmond Eberhart and Charles Wakefield Cadman. We were handed the original sheet music to this song by a friend of ours named Melissa. She was getting married, and wanted this song to be played at her wedding–it was played at [...]

‘Now & Then’, Track 4: ‘Bones’

‘Now & Then’, Track 4: ‘Bones’ The song ‘Bones’ was originally written by Willy Tea Taylor. We were introduced to Will’s work by a friend of ours named Casey Weber, right about the time we were going through some hard-working times in our lives.

‘Now & Then’, Track 3: ‘So Lonesome I Could Cry’ ‘So Lonesome I Could Cry’ was written by Hank Williams in 1949, and is perhaps the best-known track on this album. The song has an interesting history in the life of Westbound; and as an aside, when we say “Hank Williams”, we always mean “Hank [...]

At it Again!

Hello friends and fans! Well we’re once again breaking our no-gigs-till-March-so-we-can-record pact because we were made an offer we just couldn’t refuse. We’ll be opening for the amazing Possessed by Paul James (aka, Konrad Wert) this Saturday at Rudyard’s British Pub in Houston. If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing Konrad in person, you [...]

Welcome to 2012!

On top of that, we also finished a new song, which gave us a perfect chance to test the equipment a little more. If you’d like, you [...]
