A Sweany set can veer from soulful, slow burn, John Lee Hooker-style blues to swampy, delta-country pickin’ to white-hot rockabilly…Sweany has arrived as a major talent.” – Cleveland Scene Best of Cleveland Award.

These are the essential elements that make up the sound of The Wilder Blue, the Texas five-piece who put their own spin on rock-influenced country with their eponymous sophomore album.
