Song of the Week: "Cowgirl"

I've read numerous band bios over the years, but never have I come across one as moving as Stephen Wesley's. Over a decade ago Wesley and some friends nearly went to trial for armed robbery. Instead, he offered himself up to take their punishment — eight years behind bars. During that time a prison chaplain noticed Wesley teaching himself guitar and singing along. The chaplain loved his voice, offering him a spot in his choir which traveled throughout the town.

Fast forward to 2009. Today, Stephen Wesley's single "Cowgirl" is being released nationwide, featuring none other than Slash on guitar. It's a catchy and extremely radio friendly track. And, from the sound of his MySpace page, Wesley definitely isn't a one-hit wonder. He has worked with well-known musicians, writers and producers such as BC Jean (wrote Beyoncé's "If I Were A Boy") as well as Stevie Salas on his debut album.

Take a listen to "Cowgirl" here and be sure to check out Wesley's MySpace for more of his bio and to purchase his album, on iTunes now!
