Review: James Wesley captivates on new ‘Hooked Up’ music video (Includes first-hand account)

It is well-crafted from start to finish, and Alexander Manning has done an exceptional job directing it. The single is infectious and Wesley’s vocals are upbeat and smooth as silk. It is a great ode for the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament. This was done in partnership with Calcutta, which is one of the most widely recognized brands in the recreational fishing industry.

Wesley’s music video made its premiere today on Country Music Television (CMT), where country fans and listeners can check it out by clicking here.

The song was co-written by Todd Morris and Harry Smith, and it tells the story of a blue marlin that is being pursued by fisherman at the Big Rock, and through its music video, Wesley is able to take his fans along with him on a musical adventure.

Most impressive about the single is that a portion of Proceeds from its downloads go towards such charities as “Keep America Fishing Program” and the “Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament.”

The Verdict

Kansas native James Wesley has proven time and time again that he is country music’s most underrated male artist. “Hooked Up” is another prime gem from him, and his fans will instantly be “hooked” by his latest single. It garners an A rating.

Country listeners can check out “Hooked Up” on iTunes by clicking here.
