Renowned folk balladeer Willy Tea Taylor has recently unveiled a fresh rendition of The Cattleman, enlisting the sonic prowess of his rock-infused alt-country collective, The Fellership. This assembly features instrumental virtuosos including Taylor Kingman (of TK & The Holy Know-Nothings), Tyler Thompson (of Fruition and TK & The Holy Know-Nothings), Kris Stuart (of Wanderlodge and Root Jack), Dylan Nicholson (of The Turkey Buzzards), and Eric Patterson (also of The Turkey Buzzards).
The Cattleman serves as a rustic ode, a cowboy folk homage to Taylor’s forefathers, resolute Men of the West, who dedicated their days to herding cattle atop steeds, transitioning to tractors as their final chariots. Brace yourselves for an unfiltered americana resonance, complete with heartfelt vocals and an immersive narrative approach that’s Taylor’s signature style.
