Listen to the entertaining lyrics or just let yourself go to their urgently-swinging, amazingly-accomplished and undeniably-cool blend of jazz, jump jive, blues and rockabilly, given a wickedly ‘voodoo’ edge with Louisiana and Caribbean influences bubbling up all over, and you can’t fail to be bowled over by its startling originality. This well-recorded CD (a worthy successor to fine 2004 debut “On Fire”) captures their thrilling many-layered live sound so well that new delights emerge with every playing and you get the feeling it’s never going to be far from your record player.
Their impeccably empathetic playing is enhanced by great arrangements and a unifying concept feel symbolised by the eerie cover drawing of four leering skeletons playing instruments atop an old-style hearse providing fair warning of the dark delights within. At the album’s greasy heart lies a magnificently woozy version of the blues standard ‘St James Infirmary’ with an electrifying half-way lurch into a musical mayhem worthy of Screaming Jay Hawkins or Louis Jordan. Yes, it’s that good.
With a striking air of brooding menace, lots of dark humour and an entertaining musical and lyrical wit way beyond most bands, the Wildcards are surely poised on the edge of real acclaim. Listen to the sophisticated calypso and Latin touches on the Squirrel Nut Zippers’ ‘Hell’, the deliriously carnivalesque version of Louis Jordan’s ‘Run Joe’, the scarifying ‘Hoodoo Preacher’ (composed by harmonica-player Gary Primich, with whom they toured last year), and the suitably staggery rhythms of the band original ‘Drunk’. There isn’t a weak track on the album, their own material easily matching their well-chosen covers, though they may have saved the best till last with the epic Vince Lee original ‘Hard Luck Tale’, featuring eerie keyboards from guest Paul Harris. A class act.

- "simply the
best - and the most exciting - blues
release of the year!"
- Benny Metten, Ctrl. Alt.
Country e-zine, Belgium, Dec 2004
"...While
we're on a winning streak, let's jump the
pond and spin the accurately named On
Fire! The Wildcards, formed from the
wreckage of the exciting UK band the
Nightporters, are essentially part Nick
Curran, part Red Devils---that is, true
jump and blues sounds played with
capital-letter Attitude and tons of
talent. Great guitar tones, killer beats,
and (have I mentioned?) attitude make
this self-release disc a real
contender."
Blues Revue magazine, USA,
issue 94 June/July 2005
"The bands
incorporation of rock-a-billy, swing and
the Blues certainly brings to mind
Reverend Horton Heat, but this British
act are far more imaginative - putting
together a marvellously diverse
collection of songs that show a creative
edge all too many UK Blues acts seem to
lack. This deserves to achieve big things
for the band."
Blues Matters! magazine,
UK - issue 24 - Feb 05
"...Such
acclaim would have been justified for
every track of the eleven on this CD.
Music of such richness and virtuosity
defies easy categorisation but there is
certainly something here for all shades
of blues taste. The CD marks the arrival
of the Wildcards as the best new prospect
in years. Vince Lee is a world-class
singer and guitarist, with a band to
match. Their place on the European
circuit is assured and it would be no
surprise to see them causing ripples on
the other side of the Big Pond".
***** One of the top
recommended blues albums of 2005 *****
