Our Take

In his latest album, "Fire Dreamin," J.D. Wilkes takes us on a wild ride through the backroads of Americana, sprinkled with a generous dose of British English. Right from the opening track, Wilkes' distinctive drawl transports listeners to a smoky honky-tonk, where the air is thick with twang and the whiskey flows like water.

Wilkes, best known as the frontman of the Legendary Shack Shakers, isn't afraid to push the boundaries of traditional country music. "Fire Dreamin" is a testament to his fearless experimentation, blending elements of rockabilly, blues, and even a touch of psychedelia into a genre-bending masterpiece.

Tracks like "London Girl" and "Penny Farthing" showcase Wilkes' cheeky charm and love of all things British, while songs like "Snake Bite" and "Hell for Certain" deliver a gut-punch of raw emotion and gritty storytelling. Wilkes' songwriting is both poetic and primal, drawing on a deep well of personal experience and musical influences.

With "Fire Dreamin," J.D. Wilkes proves once again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the world of Americana music. So grab a pint, kick back, and let yourself be whisked away on a whirlwind journey through the heart and soul of this talented troubadour. This album is a must-listen for anyone who loves their music with a side of grit, wit, and a healthy dose of British flair.
