On the 22nd of January Country singer Willie Jones released his debut album ‘Right Now‘.
Combining the musical styles of hip hop and country is a fresh, exciting style of the sound of country which hasn’t been listened to before. Now Willie Jones has captivated us with his country, hip-hop album which we can’t stop grooving too!
Altogether it is an album which consists of the country singer’s life perspectives from the past to the future. He examines what life was and will be like. The album is full of passion and meaning, and this is what country music is all about, so Willie still hasn’t lost the theme of the country music style there.
“When I saw the final edit, I knew this was my most important statement to date as an artist. It’s going to make people think and also understand how I see our country, our collective past, and futures.
