It Came From Nashville
Landslide
Think of the Ventures and the Blasters fused, with a little spaghetti-Western-era Ennio Morricone thrown in for good measure.
This long-out-of-print debut has a complex history: 1986 vinyl release of 1,500 copies on Racket Records; 1987 reissue on vinyl by Landslide Records; 1993 CD release by Watermelon Records, with four bonus studio tracks; 2004 digital remaster by Landslide, including six bonus live tracks.
That means “It” has grown from 12 to 22 tracks — 12 studio and 10 live — on which Wilder wears his rock and roll heart on his country sleeve, his own brand of American music commingling with interpretations of Hank Williams, Little Jimmy Dickens, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Johnny Burnette, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Kevin Welch, Steve Forbert, the LeRoi Brothers and Steve Earle.
Those who appreciate the gray area between country, surf, psychedelic and swamp know or should know about Wilder. It does a soul good to see this cult classic not only perpetuated, so that others might imbibe WW’s roots-rock elixir, but improved upon as well.
