Weldon Henson tunes his radio dial to AM as he locates a signal transmitting the sweet sounds of Country music that filled the airwaves during the 1950’s and 1960’s. His low-level vocal raises a chill as the band plays a rhythm that spins around honky tonk dance floors. His recent release, Stone Cold Country Gold, gathers together a sack full of vintage sounds that Weldon Henson delivers fresh as today. The title track opens the song roster with a blast as Stone Cold Country Gold draws the line in love, suggesting that ‘cutting our losses’ is the smart move in “If I Can’t Talk to You” as quiet acoustic notes lead the slow-dance sad story of “The Past Ten Years” and follow a fiddle into the reverie of good memories that have become “Lost in Time”.
 
Weldon Henson is a true son of Texas Dance Hall culture, refreshing the sounds that have kicked up sawdust for multiple decades with tales from today. He heads down to the Broken Spoke for “Two Steppin’ Tuesdays” as a border beat helps preserve the “Pastime of Country Music”. Stone Cold Country Gold recalls a cherished era in Country music with each note, from the heart tugging tale of a good old dog in “Carter’s Song” to the sashay sway of “Come On”. A working man makes plans for after dark in “Drink. Dance, Have a Good Time” as Stone Cold Country Gold raises a toast to a dive bar with “This Ol’ Truck” and Weldon Henson issues warnings over the runaway beat of “Playing with Fire”.
