RCRD LBL

If this is what evolves in the backwoods of Wisconsin, I’ll take the next greyhound. The Wildbirds craft rough, wind-blistered, and dusty rock and roll. In “Shake Shake”, lead singer Nicholas Stuart commands attention, screeching, “Now all I ask is skin and soul,” with a voice like Mick Jagger with 10 added years of Marlboro Reds abuse.  You remain intent till the end when it erupts with country blues electric jamming. Meanwhile, the on-the-porch-drinking-whiskey love song “Susanna” is simply strummed and vocally croaked.

SOUNDS LIKE: Lynard Skynard, The Band, The Whigs, Alberta Cross
