CRITIC'S PICK:
Sat. May 23
Wes Bayliss, Eddie Owen Presents at Red Clay - Country rockers The Steel Woods called it quits in 2024 after four albums and moderate success in their crowded field. That sent co-founder/frontman/singer/songwriter Wes Bayliss off to a solo career where, according to his press release, he has shifted towards a Christian lyrical slant. There isn't a post-Steel Woods Bayliss album yet, but a few singles are available which find him in familiar Americana twangish troubadour territory. Expect new material mixed with plenty of Steel Woods songs including the swampy "Let the Rain Come Down" and "Axe," the band's most streamed titles. Maybe he'll also toss in his version of "Whipping Post." - Hal Horowitz
