The Best Of Webb Wilder LIVE! was compiled from three shows in Lyon France, Paris France, & Milwaukee Wisconsin, & single tracks from appearances in Cambridge Massachusets & Bordeaux. This collection covers almost as much ground as Webb does.
I'm partial to his psychedelic-tinged stuff like Please Don't Go, Tough It Out, I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night, & Slow Death.
There are also bluesier numbers you may know better by Rockpile (Oh What A Thrill) & The Fabulous Thunderbirds (Powerful Stuff, Sugar Coated Love), and the nuts-and-bolts rockabilly of Move It, Make That Move, & Rockin' Little Angel.
Any fan of Wilder's knows to expect funny intros & The Webb Wilder Credo, & his originals like Hoodoo Witch, Poolside, Dance With Daddy, & Tough It Out, as well as songs he didn't write that have become associated with him; How Long Can She Last (Going So Fast?)
And when The Last Of The Full-Grown Men goes full country with a song like Steve Earle's Devil's Right Hand, you have to wonder why country radio doesn't have him in heavy rotation.
There are few acts that I enjoy more. I got Wilder's autograph when I saw him perform solo one night a few years ago, & he couldn't have been nicer.

ReplyDeleteI've listed some of the fantastic covers WEBB WILDER does above.
What I'd like to know is the song that has been covered a LOT (more than 20 times lets say) that you dislike so much, you can't even believe it got published.
For me, it's HI-HEEL SNEAKERS (sometimes HIGH HEEL SNEAKERS) written by Tommy Tucker under the pseudonym Robert Higginbotham. If I had never heard the song, I feel my life would be improved, but Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee, Chuck Berry, & Paul McCartney all recorded versions. Even Stevie Wonder got into the act!
