GRW is Gary Russell Wertz. It’s also grow without the O. Marijuana Murder Ballads is a soulful southern sounding rock album that revolves around the trials and tribulations of growing & running weed from the northern parts of California. I’ve heard albums like this before – hyper focused on this particular subject but I’ve never heard one done this well. Wertz bounces around with different styles & toes the line of swapping genres but ultimately stays the course and never comes of as kitschy. If you enjoy Neil Young, Joe Walsh or Mary Jane – you’ll probably enjoy this album as well.

“GRW’s unique writing style leaves fans in constant wonder of what’s to come. The California native's latest release is a rock ballad that details a drug mule’s journey to Albuquerque. From rock and reggae, to blues and country, GRW never limits his musical talents to just one genre”
