Webb Wilder was ‘Americana’ before it had a name, and is bonafide Roots Rock Royalty.
Wilder’s long and storied career began with his classic It Came From Nashville album. It was chosen one of the Top 50 Southern Rock Albums of All Time by Paste Magazine. His nearly four decades in the public eye have included stints with major labels, MTV airplay, induction in the Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame, a cult classic movie career, and being one of the first DJs hired by a then-upstart XM Satellite Radio. He now is a DJ on Nashville radio station WMOT, and host of The List, a weekly Americana top countdown show.
Hillbilly Speedball, his 13th album, was produced with an extended family of heavyweights. World class acclaimed guitarist, David Grissom, a frequent WW collaborator, returns not only to play but also penned the title cut. Other notable guests include Vince Gill (who Wilder calls, “the world’s most down to Earth super-star”), iconic Wrecking Crew session man Richard Bennett, Fats Kaplin (ex-Jack White), and more.
Webb Wilder brings us Americana Rock and Roll in the purest sense, and his live shows and albums are a joyride worth taking again and again.
“Webb flat out rocks! They serve up potent Southern comfort.” Rolling Stone Magazine
“With his obvious love of British rock and Southern roadhouse, Wilder could be a kind of Tom Petty for the trailer set.” – San Francisco Chronicle
“These days the term ‘roots rocker’ is almost meaningless, but Wilder’s blend of a rocker’s heart with a hillbilly’s soul is probably the best aural definition of it yet.” Time Out Chicago
“Discover the mystery, the madness, and the magic of the man called Wilder. A giant standing proudly above lesser talents.” That Devil Music
