The Will Callers
“What Else Is Left?”

The Will Callers — What Else Is Left?

Self-released on Mystery Egg Records

This often-haunting, 10-song CD project was two years in the making, and worth the wait. The Will Callers won the recording contract as their main prize when taking first place in the KHYI/Shiner Rising Star band contest, 2011.

Jake Murphy and Daniel Slaton, lead vocalist and drummer in the band, respectively, wrote all the songs, and joining them in producer Ray Wylie Hubbard’s studio was ‘Scrappy’ Jud Newcomb on bass and Brad Rice on lead guitar.  With catchy lyrics such as “don’t waste a pretty minute on a heart like mine” and full 4-piece instrumentation that sounds bigger than it is, this band has fully and well represented the Shiner Rising Star goal of getting the best Texas music out there.

This ain’t your mama’s rock n roll. What it is is today’s Texas rock, speckled with classic country twang.
