THE WILD WEST LPs ARE HERE!
If you're one of the many people who have already ordered my new album, thank you! I have been delivering orders for the book and CDs. But now, the vinyl LPs are in stock, so I will begin shipping orders this week!
Please watch the trailer video that I just added to my website. I talk about the album and introduce excerpts from all 18 songs on this double album. It's entertaining and informative. The video is right at the top of the album webpage:
GREAT REVIEWS
I am blessed to have received such incredibly positive reviews already, and more are on the way. Here are a few examples:
“Grant taps into the longing for freedom, wide-open lands, and “love for every man” that the West represents in our collective unconscious. A nostalgic longing for freedom, goodwill, and adventure...”
~Melissa Clark, Americana Highways
“...incredibly well-produced, heartfelt, bursting with character...”
~ The Sounds Won’t Stop
"…the intersection of music and historical events…a polished production… a wild journey described in song.”
~MJ Barrett, Roadie Music
"Wild West: American Stories" covers America's westward expansion in the 1800s, beginning with the Louisiana Purchase, followed by Lewis & Clark's exploration led by Sacagawea, the rise of cowboy culture and rodeos, the Gold Rush, wagon trains and homesteading, the Trail of Tears, the transcontinental railroad, the telegraph, and more. It's available on a single CD or two vinyl LPs. All physical media include links to download high-resolution WAV files and smaller MP3 files to music-playing devices.
THE HARDCOVER BOOK
I wrote and illustrated a beautiful 90-page hardcover book to accompany the album, which is the ultimate liner notes. The album comes in:
1. A beautiful box set including the book, double vinyl LP, CD, and digital download links.
2. The double vinyl LP and digital download links
3. A CD and digital download links.
NO STREAMING
I am not releasing this album to Spotify, Apple Music, or any other streaming platform for at least a year. It will be available only directly from me, on my website, or in person at shows and house concerts. Honestly, I don't like how the streaming services treat independent artists. The singles from the album will be streamable, but not the album.

HOUSE CONCERTS
Over the last year, I have presented several concerts in private homes all across the USA. These are some of the most remarkable shows that I have ever done. Some were in people's living rooms or dens, while others were held outside when appropriate. The intimacy is amazing - it's the ultimate "listening room" environment, and ideal for my kind of music. When you host a house concert, you control the guest list. It's your house, after all. They are never listed on my website or publicized by me. If this is something you'd be interested in hosting, please let me know. Additional info about how house concerts work is on my website here:
All my best,
Grant
