Grant Maloy Smith takes listeners back to a time when heading west meant leaving almost everything behind. “Go West, Boys”, tells the story of people chasing a better life even when the road ahead was full of danger. Smith said the song looks at the thousands of Americans who made that choice during the 1800s. He sings with a strong and steady voice, while the music carries a real sense of distance and movement. The fiddle and banjo add life without crowding the story. As the track grows, the journey starts to sound bigger, rougher, and more urgent. It is a strong first step into his upcoming album.
