All the best adventures are only half-planned, croons frontman Ryan Kirkpatrick in The 14ers’ latest single “Westbound.” He continues in his lighthearted and upbeat demeanor, the tone and lyrics reminiscent of summertime in the Rockies. “Westbound” is optimistic and appreciative, much like the rest of The 14ers’ inventory, calling to mind the luring memories of looking west toward the Collegiate Peaks, the Nokhu Crags, or even Horsetooth Rock. It was released just in time to induce the anticipatory jitters of the Colorado outdoors and the grandiose spirit of adventure.
