The modern classic
rock crew known as Big E and the Wild Hairs has released their latest
official album, “Electrified.” The album contains 11 original Big
E and the Wild Hairs tracks for an approximate total listening time
of 50 mins. It has been proudly published as an independent release
without the involvement of the corporate music industry. Rolling on
tried and true grooves yet blazing brand new trails for the 21st
century, with “Electrified” Big E and the Wild Hairs prove
they're not just somewhere fun to go on a Friday night, but rather a
legitimate addition to the rock and roll legacy every fan of the
sound can appreciate.
The San Antonio area's Big
E and the Wild Hairs cite as main artistic influences ZZ Top, Stevie
Ray Vaughan, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Rolling Stones, the Allman
Bros., and Creedence Clearwater Revival. That said, their own sound
changes from track to track while remaining rooted in the
boot-stomping, octane-charged tradition of rock and roll. Bringing
what fans want and what they didn't know they want in equal measure,
“Electrified” by Big E the Wild Hairs has slightly more rock than
roll and does both just at the right speed.
Asked to describe the
overall meaning of “Electrified,” Big E and the Wild Hairs
writes, “Life is complicated, but it can be fun with the right
outlook. There are so many fascinating characters out there to write
about, and sometimes the character is you! Music is a great way to
explore them all.”
Dave Duggins and Eric
Whittington of the Wild Hairs have been collaborating for 10 years
after having respective music careers in a variety of styles. Duggins
has been known for his metal edge while Whittington's blues-rock
sound grounds the Wild Hairs' signature style in the tradition fans
have come to love. Their famous chemistry fuels both their music and
stage performance.
Their current official bio
describes Duggins and Whittington as “products of the southern US
influenced by the region's swampy, sweaty style of music from country
to soul to southern rock.”
Dave Duggins is a
multi-instrumentalist playing guitar, drums, keys, bass and more with
several decades' experience as a sound engineer. Duggins also has
credits as a novelist and a graphic artist. Eric Whittington began
his trajectory in percussion but learned harmonica in his 20s,
inspired by Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds.
