Although it's made from familiar parts, Rayland Baxter projects an identity that's entirely his on this album
Tennessee native Rayland Baxter's songs weave a path between country, folk, classic singer/songwriter, straight-ahead rock, and a kind of Nilsson-ian/Beatlesque pop.

On 'Wide Awake', Rayland Baxter channels his inner Paul McCartney, cranks the melodies up to 11, and makes a masterful play for the pop-rock middle.
