“…Steven is as diverse as he is unique. You can find traces of acoustic folk, indie rock, and even alt country in his songs, but the best thing about Steven is that you just can’t categorize him. His new album, We Will All Be Lifted, is a beautifully organic collection of songs that leave you feeling like you’ve just experienced pure creativity.”
—Daryl Smith for savinghesetlist.com

It’s not every year an artist writes 70+ songs so that he can release 9 songs for his first solo album. It’s also not always possible when said artist is a devoted husband, father of two, and a full-time middle school teacher, but Pushstart Wagon frontman Steven Wesley Guiles decided that was what he needed to do, and he did. Metallica fans can change the channel now, there’s nothing here for you. We Will All Be Lifted is an uplifting tear-jerker. If you find Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver good company, then you will be right at home pulling up a chair and a pair of earbuds and soaking in this gorgeous record.

WWABL leads off with May He Keep You As You Go, an Irish blessing song recorded with one microphone in one take. What you end up hearing is what came out at that moment…and a beautiful, honest moment it was. Contrasting this is Keep Me Coming Back, a multi-layered piano-based tune that has a killer chorus and gorgeously layered harmonies. It’s an obvious single and a beautiful love song written for his wife that is sentimental, honest, and yet not trite or throw-away in nature.
