Webb Wilder returns with Hillbilly Speedball, his first new album in five long years. Backed by a small army of musical friends old and new, Wilder's brushstrokes across the album's 10 songs balance tempered restraint with raucous abandon.

"The further I got into recording these songs, the more the fire got lit," he comments. "I'd been in this sort of stasis, and David Grissom, one of my oldest friends and a brilliant guitarist, sent me a new song to check out called 'Hillbilly Speedball.' I liked it. It was in the same key as my biggest successes, and I asked him, 'Hey, what if I do it?' That's how it started."

Other notable guests on the album are Vince Gill (who Wilder calls "the world's most down-to-earth superstar"), iconic Wrecking Crew session man Richard Bennett, Fats Kaplin (ex-Jack White), and an extended family of heavyweights from across the music spectrum.

As the album unfolds, we're treated to covers famous and obscure woven in with Wilder's latest originals. "You have to strike a balance, you follow the breadcrumbs. I'm a sucker for songs I love. It goes back to hand-me-down 45s I got as a kid. Certain songs hit you at just the right time, the right age, the right moment, and they stay with you forever."

Beneath the groove and the good times that go with it, there's an invisible ink layer of introspection. "The older I get, the more I get to know myself and connect the dots as to why I am who I am. Apparently, I've always been drawn to beat music and roots music of varying stripes, and when genres blend, all the better."

Hillbilly Speedball is the (lucky) 13th album in Wilder's long and storied career. His nearly four decades in the public eye have included stints with major labels, MTV airplay, induction in the Mississippi Musicians' Hall of Fame, and being one of the first DJs hired by a then-upstart XM Satellite Radio. He was Americana before it had a name, and is bonafide Roots Rock Royalty.

Erik Vincent Huey 

Austin’s Erik Vincent Huey combines Appalachian storytelling, outlaw country grit, and punk-rock “Johnny Clash” energy into an electrifying live set.

A fourth-generation coal miner’s son from West Virginia, Huey’s new album, Fort Defiance debuted on the Top 50 Americana chart and was produced by Eric “Roscoe” Ambel. It features guest vocals by Tommy Stinson of The Replacements and Sarah Borges, with musical backing (on the record and on the road) by the power pop combo Starbelly.

His debut solo LP “Appalachian Gothic” was hailed as “riveting stuff, a major work” by Americana Songwriter, and “the Appalachian Tommy” by Americana UK.

Also known as Cletus McCoy of The Surreal McCoys, celebrated for their unique mash up “Whole Lotta Folsom,” Huey delivers performances that bridge roots rock, country, and punk with equal parts roadhouse swagger and Rust Belt soul.

“A gritty Singer/Songwriter… This is American-made Roots Country” —The Alternate Root

  • Webb Wilder

    Rockabilly

    "Work hard, rock hard, eat hard, sleep hard, grow big, wear glasses if you need 'em." With this fearless credo, Webb Wilder has been playing his own brand of country-accented, retro-styled rock & roll since the '80s, and created a tongue-in-cheek but larger-than-life persona to go along with it. One could reasonably say Webb Wilder was playing roots rock before anyone started calling it that, with a twang that came from somewhere in between country and rockabilly, some potent growl in the guitars, a hint of blues in the melodies, a tough backbeat that was just a little bit new wave, and Wilder's vocals that could project wit while also getting the party effectively started. Wilder's persona and music were at their strongest on early albums like 1986's It Came from Nashville and 1989's Hybrid Vigor, through 2006's More Like Me and 2015's Mississippi Moderne showed he was still in fine shape if hitting just a bit less hard and turning up the country side of his tunes.
