Wylie and the Wild West
In an era where music labels endeavor to sell listeners a "fool's gold" version of country western music, Wild Wylie Gustafson sparkles as one of the genre's authentic treasures. A country western thoroughbred, Wylie distances himself from the stampede of guitar slinging imposters by keeping ablaze the standards set by an earlier generation of players. Moreover, Wylie has not only revived, but redefined the art form with his trademark yodeling. A perennial favorite on the live circuit, Wylie ropes in fans by mixing an assortment of sensitive ballads with his torrid yodel ditties. All the while, Wylie remains close to the cowboy ethic by continuing to work his ranch in Dusty, Washington. As he begins the adventure into the prime of his career already packing a saddle bag full of albums (Get Wild, Ridin' the Hi-Line, Total Yodel! and Way Out West) under his belt buckle, Wild Wylie Gustafson seems a long trail away from riding off into the sunset.
