Wetzel has turned into an incredibly popular country music act over the past couple of years, and there's a major reason why: He blends outlaw country music with more modern vibes and themes.
The formula has been a smashing success as his latest single "Feel Better" immediately set the internet on fire. Now, he's done it again.
