UK Country artists Andrew Jones and Rob Wheeler have released ‘100 Years An Hour’ and ‘Why Whiskey Why?’ respectively.
‘100 Years An Hour‘ reminisces about the good old days and about how time seems to speed up as you get older!
Accomplished UK singer/songwriter Andrew Jones has been quite the trailblazer within the burgeoning UK country music scene over the past few years, having played festivals such as C2C, Buckle & Boots, and the BCMA Fan Fest, whilst his musical releases have struck a chord with fans thanks to him often exploring the simplicity of life and its small joys within the every day.
And now, Jones is ready to take another leap in his growing career with the release of his latest single ‘100 Years An Hour’ which is available across all digital platforms today. It’s set to push the Brit performer to the forefront of the genre and give him a secure foothold within the growing international appeal of the UK country market.
The upcoming offering is a track that will no doubt resonate with many, with the focus being on how fast time flies. Produced by Nashville’s Smith Curry and UK’s Jamie Masters ‘100 Years An Hour’ sees Jones reminiscing on his own youth and the happy memories that come from playing in the street til darkness and later getting drunk with his mates and the stories that came from that youthful exuberance.

‘The ‘Why Whiskey Why?‘ track blends self-deprecating humor and a telecaster twang with catchy Nashville Sound-inspired hooks. As Rob Wheeler says: “This one’s for every broken heart that’s ever stared into a glass. Country soul, storytelling, and drinking too much – you’ll feel this one.”
His upcoming album ‘Leave Tomorrow’ was written during Rob’s four-month stint in the States, collaborating with Grammy-nominated songwriters Jeff Trott, Steve Dorff and Frank Liddell. Having grown up in England’s North West obsessed with The Beatles while learning Hank Williams and Johnny Cash on guitar, this album represents a full-circle moment bringing Rob’s Cheshire roots and Nashville influences together.
