Will Wilde is one of Britain’s best harmonica players and couples that with a fine voice and a great stage presence. He plays his instrument as a lead instrument rather than a background fill-in and the quality of his playing is clear right from the outset. This is the first single from his new album (released on Feb 28th) and features Walter Trout.
It is quite superb from start to finish and it is very clear that there is history between Wilde and Trout. Instead of the usual 5 second appearance that ‘Features’ gets, there is a terrific, soulful, solo from the great man and a jam between Trout and Wilde. Trout says, "It was my great honour to be part of this music with the incredible Will Wilde. He's the best! I look forward to hopefully more musical collaboration with this amazing young musician!"
The single describes, pretty accurately, just why the Blues is so important today, as a medium of expressing rage and despair at the state of the world, but it is also a grand listen all through.
