NEW RELEASE
FROM VICTOR WAINWRIGHT & THE
WILDROOTS! |
Blind Pig Records has released Boom Town, the latest CD from Victor Wainwright & the
WildRoots.
 |
Wainwright has
been making a name for himself in a big way as one of the most exciting keyboard
performers on the roots music scene. Known for his potent boogie piano, big soul
sounds, powerhouse blues, roots rock ‘n’ roll, and a voice that recalls Dr. John
and Leon Russell, he’s also a two-time winner of the coveted Blues Music Award
for “Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the
Year.” |
Wainwright is a raucous, high-octane dynamic
performer and a crowd pleaser with soul to spare. As American Blues
News put it, “he is always entertaining and madly talented. You will never
see Victor play a room and not go over with the crowd in a big way.” He’s
backed by the firepower of WildRoots, one of the tightest smokin’ bands
around.
Boom Town
is highlighted by excellent songwriting, musicianship and production, and a
unique and edgy sound that captures the energy of the band’s live shows. With
the release of this tour de force of American blues and roots music, Victor’s
star will surely continue to rise. |
