Webb Wilder "Never Too Small To Hit The Big Time".

I first saw Webb 20 years ago in a little concert bar in the Flats District of Cleveland. I had no idea who was playing that night having made the trip on a whim, so I asked the guy at the door. His reply was Webb Wilder, ten dollars. I paid up and asked further what he plays and he said he wasn't sure but he thought it was blues. A guy next to him corrected him that it was country rock. The two debated the genre, ignoring me as I walked in.

What I saw over the next two hours was indeed indescribable. It was hard rockin' Delta Blues country music. I think.
His lead guitar player was called the Tone Chaperone, he calls himself "last of the full grown men" whose credo is "Work Hard, Rock Hard, Eat Hard, Grow Big and Wear Glasses If You Need Them".

Webb just feels good
