“12 O’clock In Texas” Was Premiered By CCM Magazine
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country rocker Will Wesley has released a deeply personal and heartfelt single, “12 O’clock In Texas,” a self-penned tribute to his brother Daniel, who tragically passed away from a drug overdose. The song is a raw, emotional reflection on the devastating toll that drugs and alcohol can take, often claiming lives and leaving families to cope with the aftermath. For Wesley, the best way to honor his brother’s memory and ensure he is never forgotten was to pour his heart into his songwriting, creating a musical tribute that resonates with both sorrow and love.
“12 O’clock In Texas” captures the essence of loss while offering a sense of connection to those who have faced similar pain. With its soulful blend of country and rock, the track not only tells Daniel’s story but also shines a light on the broader struggles many families endure. Premiered by CCM Magazine, this powerful release stands as a testament to the healing power of music and the enduring bond between brothers.
“12 O’clock In Texas” is by far my most intimate body of work,” shares Wesley. “Losing a loved one is a subject we all have experienced in one way or another. My goal with this song and video is to help anyone who is struggling with grief and loss and to shine the light on their darkness. Sometimes a song is bigger than oneself and for me “12 O’clock In Texas” is that tune.”

Wesley recently teamed with Swiss hitmaker Florian Fox for their duet, “Time’s Catching Up To Me.” Premiered by M Music & Musicians Magazine, their collaboration combines rockabilly and blues, bringing a retro feel to a modern song that reflects on one’s life and how the past will always catch up to you. Although Wesley and Fox took a light-hearted approach to the subject, the fact is, deep down they will always remember, that they’re another year older and time’s catching up with each day.

About Will Wesley:
Grit has forever seeped from the pores of country rocker Will Wesley. He was born a rebellious one, sneaking into bars at 15 to play the blues that pumped through his veins. But today, Wesley follows in the footsteps of artists such as Eric Church and Jason Aldean, more than ready to show off his rock edge as much as his tender, lyrical heart. And despite a career that has already found him touring several countries in Europe and Southeast Asia, performing in venues such as the Switzerland International Country Music Hall of Fame and the Jackson, Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, playing alongside the likes of Alabama, Jason Boland & the Stragglers and Robert Cray, this is somewhat a new beginning for Will Wesley as he finds himself ready to conquer the world.
