Stephen Wilson Jr. releases new song "Gary."

Wilson released his new song "Gary" this week, and it popped up on my release radar on Spotify on Friday morning.

Obviously, I had to smash the play button, and it didn't disappoint at all. Give it a listen below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Wilson told Rolling Stone the following about the song:

"I grew up in a body shop. My family, every one of them can fix anything, not because they’re just like these mechanical geniuses, but because they just had to fix everything. There’s no money to hire somebody to fix something, so you just got to learn how to fix it. And where I come from, the Garys, they get it done. It’s like, ‘Man, you’re gonna need to call Gary.’…I grew up in a generation where it’s like you go to college and to hell with trades. But here we are in society that’s running out of Garys. And it’s going to be scary if we ain’t got our Garys. I hope we recognize and start celebrating them instead of forgetting about them."

Fans were also quick to pop off in the comments with plenty of praise:
