American singer/songwriter, pop-culture curator and metaphysical cowboy, DUSTY WRIGHT, is celebrating the release of his 6th full-length album, the intimately engaging Caterwauling Towards The Light. The reflective album finds the roots rocker in repose, ruminating on the perils of love, loss and middle age with levels of candor and wonderment immediately relatable.
Wright treats the listener to an atmospheric tour de force complete with slightly somber hand-jives, chiming guitars, waltzy shuffles and baritone musings that find the ear with easy charm
Dusty Wright is also a writer and co-founded the audio podcasting and video webcasting online pop culture magazine CultureCatch.com featuring his interview series The Dusty Wright Show. Interviews from the show were among the very first video and audio podcasts featured at iTunes with such guests as Ron Howard, Gore Vidal, Jim Marshall, Budd Hopkins, and CultureCatch.com board advisor David Lynch.
