"With swirling echoes of Wilco, Sufjan Stevens, Ryan Adams and Eisley (with Christie Dupree of the Eisley family on vocals), Wesley Jensen’s music has an aerial, soaring quality with the heart’s doors thrown wide open. Not holding back, not one inch, it’s clear that Jensen is gushing with muse beyond his years. Skipping through alt country, and indie rock, his folk-rooted foundation gives these songs a friendly and familiar disposition, whether they’re slow and poignant like Forward or semi-celebratory like Act Your Part. Any way you look at it, between his yearning vocals and organic songwriting, Pirates and Cowboys is nothing less than a gem."

"Jangly acoustic guitars, harmonicas and a penchant for pop music? I’m sold, and that’s no secret. Wesley Jensen, a Redding, CA resident, has perfectly aligned country, folk, and pop music in his debut offering entitled Pirates & Cowboys. Modest verses launch into epic choruses, leaving very little to be desired. And as if I needed a reason to dig the music even more, Jensen’s lyrical ability gets my vote as well."

It's about time!!! Album's awesome btw. Planning a tour yet? If so, do whatever you have to do to get Christie onboard for an entire tour this time...then it would all just be perfectly beautiful! Hey, best to you guys & hope to see you around soon.
'Stories' is amazing! I got it a few days ago along with The Myriad's 'With Arrows, With Poise'.. and I just love, love, love this album! I can really hear the growth in the music from 'Pirates and Cowboys'... I guess what I just said makes since o_O Well anyways the five songs are perfect and hearing Christie singing with you makes for great harmonizing. Thanks for such a wonderful work of art!
