We wanted to open up our Top 10 Wet Willis Songs list with a great one. Wet Willie’s “Grits Ain’t Groceries,” sure fits that description, What we always loved about Wet Willie was their merging of southern blues with r&b which really makes sense if one understands the history of both genres, Nonetheless, Wet Willie was one of the best at merging th...
Like any great genuine rock and roll band, the place where their talents will shine the brightest is on the concert stage. Wet Willie has always had a reputation for being a fantastic live group. The band toured with the Allman Brothers Bandin the early 1970s. These guys kill it on the performance of “Macon Hambone Blues.” Listen to that guitar sol...
“Airport,” was another great track from Wet Willie’s second album entitled Wet Willie II. Just dig that guitar and groovy piano comping. And that piano trill gets me every time. I can listen to this one over and over again. At times, this band also reminded me of Grand Funk, especially on the lead vocals on this track.
The great Wet Willie track “Shout Bamalama” will knock you out of your seat and up onto your rock and roll feat. You can’t sit down listening to this one. Echoes of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Traveling Band,” resonate throughout this great track, especially on the lead vocal line. Everybody Shout It!
Every band in the 1970s was somehow affected by the emergence of disco in 1976. Even the Rolling Stoneswho released “Miss You,” in 1978 were clearly inspired by the disco groove that dominated pop culture in the mid 1970s. Some bands did it their own way, others did not. Wet Willie’s great song “Everything That ‘Cha Do (Will Come Back To You),” was...
Listen to those backing vocals on this great song. The guitar, the groove, its just all sounds so good. One of our favorite aspects of the great Wet Willie Band has always been the female backing vocals. They always seemed to be so inspired by those classic Stax Records. Throw in a little Lynyrd Skynyrd and you got Wet Willie. You need to check out...
Somewhere between Foghat, The Allman Brothers, and Lynyrd Skynyrd lies the great Wet Willie Band. And speaking of Lynyrd Skynyrd, I think they may have been listening to this song when they composed “What’s Your Name,” a few years later. This cool Wet Willie song was released on the Dixie Rockalbum in 1975.
Continuing with our top 10 Wet Willie Songs list we turn to the great Wet Willie album entitled Which One’s Willie?The album was released in 1979.
