If you’re looking at the future of country look no further than Willie Jones, representing Louisiana you can hear the church and the back porch in his soulful voice that we first heard on ‘X Factor’ in 2012. Fast forward to his debut album right now. And the way that he used Country, Hip-Hop and Pop seamlessly. It’s no wonder Queen Bey needed him on a track and their voices blended perfectly. So head to a dive bar and look out for more Willie Jones.
