Album Review
This is the album to start with on Wet Willie, and their real best-of, a surging, forceful concert recording of white Southern soul and blues-rock at its best. The band holds its own alongside outfits like the Allman Brothers — no, this isn't the kind of history-making set that At Fillmore East by the latter band constituted, but it is a great show presenting this group and its members at their very best. The playing is hard and muscular, the singing rich and expressive, and they have serious fun with numbers like "Red Hot Chicken" (stretched to ten minutes) and do a nice, laidback "Macon Hambone Blues," surrounded by crunchy renditions of pieces like "Airport." What's more, they switch effortlessly from a lean, guitar-centered blues-rock to a much funkier, sax-driven sound — maybe it was that diversity that prevented Wet Willie from really breaking big outside of the Southeast. The vibes they were picking up from the audience on New Year's Eve at the Warehouse in New Orleans make this a compelling concert document.
Customer Reviews
Drippin Wet (Wet Willie)
If you are not familiar with Wet Willie this is a great way to be introduced. Funky, Soulful Southern Rock at it's finest. Sometimes, at least I feel, most live albums lose something in the translation, but not Drippin Wet. Especially tune into She Caught The Katy, That's All Right, I'd Rather Be Blind & Macon Hambone Blues. Jimmy Hall is one of the finest harmonica players and country blues singers on this planet. If you are feeling like hearing some funky down-home Southern Rock, or maybe you need some good driving music ... Drippin Wet is an excellent choice. Enjoy.
Rockin Soul
Recorded live at the famous (and lamentably gone) Warehouse, in New Orleans, on New Year's Eve as the opening act for The Allman Brothers, Wet Willie nearly stole the show. High energy, funky, rockin soul, courtesy of harmonica and sax playing lead singer Jimmy Hall, this is 70's Southern boogie blues. Allman percussionist, Jaimoe, joins in on "Red Hot Chicken." Every song worth the price, this was Wet Willie's best album.
Drippin' Wet Live!
My favorite Southern Blues/Rock Album! You will consider this a rare jewel of a find. Filled with "knock your hat in the creek" tunes. I heard Wet Willie live performing the music from this album (my first real concert at age 14). This album catches the energy of Jimmie and Jack Hall wearin' it out!
