Saskatchewan rock-country group WYATT has just released their latest single and video Jesse James. Now signed with Canadian label MDM Recordings,their new record is set for release in May of this year. “We are really excited about this new project," explains Wyatt member Scott Patrick. "The experience making our last album gave us the confidence to push the envelope and really evolve and refine our sound. Right from the initial talks with Mitch Merrett (regarding the album’s direction), we knew this one was going to be a pure WYATT album – rock n’ roll with a country soul. It was an amazing experience to write and record these great songs with a producer who is willing to stray outside conventional lines.”
