Wesrok’s “Ride Cowboy Ride” Earns Grammy® Consideration for Best Country Solo Performance

T-BoneT-BoneOctober 8, 20253 Minutes read

Nashville, TN – October 2025 — Jamaican country artist Wesrok continues to redefine what country music can sound like with his groundbreaking single “Ride Cowboy Ride,” now officially submitted for Grammy® consideration in the category of Best Country Solo Performance. The powerful anthem, “Ride Cowboy Ride,” is a testament to the artist’s unique blend of sounds.

The song, recorded in Nashville at Beaird Music Group, delivers a heartfelt message of perseverance and freedom while blending the spirit of traditional country with the warmth and rhythm of the Caribbean. The result is a sound that feels both familiar and entirely new, a celebration of storytelling that transcends borders and cultures. This is more than just a song; it’s an invitation to Ride Cowboy Ride.

“This song is about holding on when life gets tough,” says Wesrok. “The cowboy spirit is about resilience and courage, and that speaks to everyone, no matter where you come from. It’s a spirit that encourages us all to Ride Cowboy Ride.”

Ride Cowboy Ride: A Bridge Between Worlds

Born Percival Buddan in Kingston, Jamaica, Wesrok grew up captivated by the voices of Kenny Rogers, Johnny Cash, and Marty Robbins. Over time, he fused those influences with his own roots to pioneer what he calls country reggae, a genre that merges the heart of country music with the soul of Jamaica. The essence of his journey is captured in the compelling narrative of “Ride Cowboy Ride.”

With “Ride Cowboy Ride,” Wesrok doesn’t just experiment; he connects two musical traditions through shared values of hope, perseverance, and authenticity. His rich vocals, organic production, and timeless storytelling make this song a standout contender in a category that celebrates genuine artistry and performance. The call to Ride Cowboy Ride is universal.

“Wesrok brings a refreshing perspective to the country genre,” wrote Country Music News. “Ride Cowboy Ride feels like a bridge between Nashville and the Caribbean, honest, soulful, and full of heart. It’s a song that makes you want to Ride Cowboy Ride.”

Why “Ride Cowboy Ride” Resonates

“Ride Cowboy Ride” captures the essence of country music’s storytelling tradition, while expanding its reach to new audiences around the world. The production is understated yet powerful, acoustic guitars, steady percussion, and heartfelt vocals that pull listeners in. The message of “Ride Cowboy Ride” is about embracing the journey.

The song’s message speaks directly to resilience: getting back up after a fall, trusting the journey, and embracing life’s wide-open road. It’s a universal theme, told from a global perspective, reminding listeners that the cowboy spirit belongs to everyone. This is the spirit of “Ride Cowboy Ride.”

A Growing Global Presence for Ride Cowboy Ride

Wesrok has performed across both Jamaica and the United States, connecting with fans who recognize his authentic approach to music. His earlier songs, including “Poor Country Boy,” “Born as a Winner,” and “Looking Back” have received airplay on both country and Caribbean radio, earning praise for his unique sound and his dedication to cross-cultural music. His latest single, “Ride Cowboy Ride,” continues this legacy.

Through his label 360 Global Entertainment, Wesrok continues to champion musical unity and push creative boundaries. His mission is to make country music a truly global language, one that welcomes every story worth telling, and “Ride Cowboy Ride” is a prime example.

About “Ride Cowboy Ride”
