​Webb Wilder (from the album Night Without Love available on Landslide Records)  (by Bryant Liggett)
Webb Wilder has always been known as an unpredictable musician without the need to be obvious about it by throwing a bunch of curveballs. It’s a given that eleven albums into a career, what you can expect from Webb Wilder is loose Rockabilly and Classic Country, some fringe-riding Surf Rock, Electric Folk and revved-up Blues. That is the Webb Wilder recipe for Rock’n’Roll, the taste of his treats all that is needed foregoing trappings of a full-on Rockabilly cat, a Country crooner or a Blues dude. Night Without Love delivers all of the above. The album is quirky and fun, melodies that stick zipped up and delivered by a crack band. 
Webb Wilder’s choice of covers on Night Without Love reveal that his personal interests run from under-the-radar album cuts to virtually obscure compositions. Album opener, “Tell Me What’s Wrong”, originally recorded by Brit band The Inmates, is straight ahead Pub Rocker while “Holdin’ On To Myself” is two-stepping dancehall Country, and “Be Still” from Louis Perez and David Hidalgo, of Los Lobos, is a tender South of the Border cut: all tracks presented with a Wilder flair for romance and romp. The Night Without Love title track is a skip down the sidewalk completed by a carefree whistle as Webb Wilder sings of the baffling mess that is love while “Buried Our Love” is a bouncy song of regret where Wilder doles out advice, ‘the only thing worse than crying like a baby is crying like a grown up’. “Sweetheart Deal” is old school, slow dance ballad and the playful “Ache and Flake (Go With The Flow)” offers up the best advice for digging into Webb Wilders genre-jumping sound, claiming ‘you wanna get a grip, you gotta let go, and go with the flow’.
