Oh y’all.

You know I love to tell you about great music. Mumford and Sons. Dave Barnes. The Civil Wars. Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors.

And today? It is Mr. Matt Wertz.

There are a few musicians in town whose music I liked before I lived here. In most cases, becoming friends with the musician only made me like their music more.

[Except in one case when I was all, “Hey. I used to like your music but I think you are a total putz so I’m pretty sure your music is lame.”]

But that wasn’t Wertz. I have nothing but the highest praise for Matt Wertz. He writes good music because he lives well. He is a good friend. He makes me laugh until my sides are totally aching. I absolutely adore him.

When I hear his music, it is who he is. It is true and honest. But it is also pop music and loud and a good time. This album is fun and deep and lovely and it is everything Spring. Your kids will love it. Your friends will love it. You will love it.

I absolutely adore this album.

So buy a copy of Weights & Wings, roll down your windows, and blast that puppy.

Or……

Speaking of Matt, here is something super cool. Like whoa cool.
