Willis Mathewson – I’ve Been Callin’

In his stirring new single “I’ve Been Callin’,” NYC‑based drummer‑songwriter Willis Mathewson delivers a heart‑felt blend of country‑rock warmth and soulful longing. From the opening guitar twang to the lush organ swells and harmonized vocals, the track evokes a wistful, emotional reach that feels both intimate and accessible.

Mathewson sings with raw honesty, “Even now the days go by, I think of you; I don’t know why I do” revealing a relatable struggle to move on from a past love. I’m struck by how Mathewson balances melancholy and hope, folding in a gentle optimism in the line “that’s where I’m waiting for you.” The production, recorded at Sear Sound in Midtown, brings collaborators from New York’s tight-knit country‑rock scene for a sound that’s polished yet emotionally direct. In sum, “I’ve Been Callin’” is an evocative, beautifully crafted single that confirms Mathewson’s gift for evocative storytelling through melody.
