Wild Man is the new single from the new album ‘Blues Is Still Alive’ set for release on February 28, 2025, via Vizz Tone Records.
Wild Man is a raucous, dirty twelve-bar shuffle that channels the spirit of Chicago blues. The track is a fun, tongue-in-cheek celebration of self-assurance, evoking the boldness of blues legends like Muddy Waters and Elmore James.
“This one is for the hardcore blues fans,” says Wilde. “It’s a bit of fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously.” With lyrics like, “When it comes to playing harp, I’m the finest on the scene, when it comes to making love, I’m the best there’s ever been,” the song embraces the brash bravado of classic blues with a cheeky grin.
The harmonica work on Wild Man is where Wilde truly shines, with the main riff giving a nod to Little Walter’s iconic Juke, while adding his own unique modern twist which takes the intensity up to 11.
It’s a celebration of the harmonica’s central role in blues, with a dynamite sound that sets Wilde apart from the rest, ensuring his place as one of the genre’s most exciting new talents. With a swagger and a grin, Wild Man delivers everything we love about the blues—confidence, attitude, and a healthy dose of fun.
