Review: James Wesley magical on Merle Haggard’s ‘The Way I Am’ (Includes first-hand account)

Wesley pours his heart into this song, and one could feel the heart and emotion and that he put into it. Wesley is able to introduce the classic hit “The Way I Am” to a brand new generation of country fans. Wesley’s love for traditional country music is evident, and many of the newer country stars ought to follow his lead (and cover songs that have inspired them growing up).

The Verdict

James Wesley works wonders with country covers and “The Way I Am” is no different. He is one true country storyteller. Wesley tips his hat to the country artists that have paved the way for him, and it is safe to say that he did Merle Haggard proud. His version of “The Way I Am” garners an A rating. Well done.
