Description

While their sounds harken back to the Western swing of Bob Willis, no one could ever accuse Hot Club of Cowtown of lacking originality. They don’t write songs like the playful “Caveman” or cover Les Paul/Mary Ford classics from a place of detached irony. The band plays with sincerity and love of their forefathers (and a knowing wink to the novelty of radio classics from the days of yore).
This first album (their 11th in their 21yr history)of original material in ten years underlines how the songwriting talents of the band’s two lead vocalists, fiddler Elana James and guitarist Whit Smith, have matured like the best bourbon.
Wild Kingdom is loaded with character and charm, a testament to the energy and nuance Hot Club still have to offer so long into their career. It might not break any new ground, but their 11th album demonstrates just how much fun this well-seasoned trio can still have. The summer months may be over, but Wild Kingdom packs enough charm and joy to warm things up just a bit longer.
