Some things are inevitable. More than Grammy Awards or platinum albums, sometimes friendship is greater to motivate creativity, serving as its own momentum. Such is the case for how the harmonically buoyant, impossibly lush acoustic rock-country of Gone West came to be.
Gone West is Colbie Caillat, Justin Young, Nelly Joy and Jaston Reeves
On a personal break from one of the most musical pop breakthroughs of the last several years, multiple Grammy-winner Colbie Caillat and her fiancée Justin Kawika Young (11 #1 Hawaiian songs) decided to head to Nashville where Caillat’s co-writer, recording artist and friend Jason Reeves was living with his wife songwriter/Academy of Country Music Award nominee Nelly Joy. For Caillat, who’d already collaborated with Taylor Swift and Brad Paisley, as well as CMA Song of the Year winner Liz Rose,
it felt almost like a homecoming.
Produced and co-produced by the band, Gone West’s music brings a new freshness to modern country, straddling singer/songwriter vulnerability, Iowan humility, Lone Star tenacity and Hawaiian steel guitar. The playing is spare enough the instruments and voices shine, while the lyrics, which offer a heart-positive embrace of life, stand-out in the mix.
Gone West’s Mamas & Papas meets the Eagles vocals hit the chorus with extra sweetness, espousing, “Because next time, there may not be a this time...”
“The universe put us together,” Gone West fuses the best parts of being young, engaged and willing to face the heartbreak with a smile to get the good parts."
As Joy explains it, “We’ve all experienced highs and lows in life
and love, and the songs we write represent those ebbs and flows.”
Those tides that rise can sweep music lovers, especially ones who love breezy life-affirming songs, into a whole new realm of happy. Life isn’t always perfect, but when you’re Gone West, you can find the silver lining, the golden sunset, the lemonade in those moments that often pull us down.
