Zach Willdee has done plenty to earn his country & western stripes over the years. Picking in circles alongside the Steel Drivers at the age of 12. Busking at 14. And writing his own songs at 16. Willdee then packed up & headed to Nashville and ultimately ended up working under famed song writer, Darrell Scott(Dixie Chicks, Beyoncé, etc). Did his thing and played his songs to crowds of people – singing along to his songs. This sort of path can pay off in a variety of ways but 1 that really pays off here is the fact that Heart That Ain’t Tame turned out just as it should. An outlaw country album that is now just 1 month old, yet it could be from decades earlier. Zach Willdee was fortunate to make a lot of friends and meet some players along the way – and they were all aware of his raw talent and full potential. This made it an easy choice for anyone given the opportunity to throw in a helping hand. Willdee, a multi instrumentalist is no slouch himself when it comes to playing. Turn it up, listen and let it be your new favorite country album… or close your eyes and pretend you’ve gone back to 1978. Sound of a classic.

“Heart That Ain’t Tame comes across not as a debut album, but one a lot of country music veterans would proudly put out”

“At his core, Willdee revives the old soul of outlaw country, taking inspiration from well-worn touchstones like Merle Haggard or Waylon Jennings and marrying them with the plaintive storytelling flair of troubadours like John Prine or Steve Earle”
