Step back into the golden age of honky-tonk with this rare, signed and inscribed copy of Bigger Man Than Me, featuring Wes Potts’ heartfelt country storytelling. Potts, known for his deep, gravelly vocals and classic twang, delivers foot-tapping melodies in the vein of traditional country greats.

✅ Signed & Inscribed: A unique personal message from Wes Potts adds incredible collector appeal. ✅ Rare K-Ark Records Pressing: An independent country label known for its deeply authentic releases. ✅ Obscure Honky-Tonk Legacy: Wes Potts isn’t widely known, making this an exciting discovery for country and vinyl collectors. ✅ Authenticity & Provenance: A genuine piece of country history waiting for the right collector.
Don’t miss out on owning this one-of-a-kind signed Wes Potts album—perfect for honky-tonk enthusiasts and serious vinyl collectors. Once it’s gone, it’s gone!
A good honkytonk album on the K-Ark label, known for its high caliber of recorded country. It includes several originals, notably the Potts compsition “Don’t Bring Me Memories.”
Wesley Max Potts was born in 1936 in Freedom, Oklahoma, and passed away in 2016 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Wesley grew up and lived most of his life in the Woodward, Oklahoma area.
He worked with his father in construction, but was a musician by heart and nature. At the age of seven, Wes played steel guitar in his father’s dance band, playing country school dances almost every Saturday night.
From there he started his own band in high school, choosing to play the bass instead because he found it easier to sing and play. He began college at Oklahoma State University but his love of music called him away when he met Glen Campbell, Billy Gray and Ray Price.
While working for those artists, he opened and backed such artists as Johnny Paycheck, Johnny Cash, Charlie Pride, Willie Nelson, Buck Owens and Merle Haggard.
This album, “Bigger Man than Me,” hit number two on the charts in 1970, and he had several other albums throughout his career. He continued to play music throughout his life.
