Simply Twenty One Records is pleased to announce the release of a new album
by MARTY WENDELL. The title of the album is “Telecaster Cowboy.” The album delivers Marty Wendell as both artist and songwriter and the songs are a true slice of Americana touching a variety of emotions and telling unique stories.
David Van Pelt of Hillview Sounds describes it this way. “As it stands, we are the lucky ones to have Marty in our midst, living modestly and continuing to make his music. Music that only gets better as he matures, and a live show as charging and energetic as ever. A modern day melody maker, out on the fringe, a Telecaster Cowboy, wielding a six string and a strap, a genuine slice of Americana Pie here at home on the range.”
Music critic, Don Wilcock, writes “For someone who grew up listening to Sun artists Elvis Presly, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash, it’s almost scary how powerful, clean and clear Marty Wendell’s vocals are compared with my idols. I’m not ready to say he’s a better vocalist than the three legends I mentioned, but if I weren’t so damned in awe of those three for 70 years I might have to admit just that.”
2025 marks Marty’s 61st year as an artist and this album is like an exclamation point for all that has gone before. In both 2020 and 2022 he had albums that became contenders for “Best Americana Album” in the Grammy Awards. He is in the Eddies Hall of Fame, the Glens Falls Music Hall of Fame, and the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. He has had several Eddies nominations including in 2025, and won “Favorite Americana Artist” in the 2023 Listen Up Music Awards. He has provided concert support for many legendary artists. Marty will be performing concerts in the Northeast this summer in support of the “Telecaster Cowboy” album.
