Webb Wilder
By All Music Guide
The Webb Wilder character was created for a short film about a backwoods private detective who fell out of the 50s and happened to also be a musician. As a group, Webb Wilder combined the surf guitar of the Ventures with the rock roots of Duane Eddy, drawing on the feel of both country music and film noir. Though sometimes bordering on the gimmicky, they are quite humorous and play serious music. It Came from Nashville featured a cover of Steve Earles Devils Right Hand, appropriate because, like Earle, Wilder rocked too hard to be country but kept a twang that might put off mainstream rock fans. Their next two albums didnt necessarily forge new ground but refined their sound somewhat, making their R&B influence more apparent. In concert, Wilder often gives stream-of-consciousness recitations that touch on motor homes, voodoo, television, and other somewhat kitschy subjects; usually theyre funny enough to work. But if Webb Wilder intends to expand his audience, he will have to grow musically and steer away from too much camp. He has made another, longer film, indicating a potential career in that medium.
