    Brad Wilson "Hands On The Wheel" (USA)
 

For his new release, "Hands On The Wheel", Brad Wilson brings us a blast from his past as he offers up 14 of his best songs from previous releases, and in the process, not only does he whip up his trademark style of incendiary Blues Rock, he also whips up our desire to get in our car, throw this little treasure in the player and start drivin'. For fans of Blues Rock and a little more, you can't go wrong with this beauty. John Vermilyea (Blues Underground Network)

Hailing from California, Brad Wilson plays an incendiary brand of blues-rock that is perfect for your  next road trip, either with the top down, or, if you are so inclined, astride your Harley.  On his latest set for Blues Boulevard Records, “Hands On The Wheel,” Brad covers a lot of ground over the course of these fourteen originals, and holds absolutely nothin’ back as far as the guitar goes.  Along with his blistering guitar attack, he’s got one of those gritty, rough-hewn vocal deliveries that just begs for bluesy material such as this.

This set leads off with the title cut, a stone cold ode to the open road, where “I feel free.”  “Rocket” is another hot rocker that pays tribute to those machines of “American steel” and “Detroit wheels.”  Brad breaks off a cool slide solo at the bridge on this one.  He finds himself asking for another chance with a lover, as he realizes he’d be “All Kinds Of A Fool for losing you,” while Francesca Capasso adds duet vocals and promises to help see him thru the night after “blues and Last Call.”   “Cruisin The Coast” is a breezy, dueling-guitars, Southern-rock-influenced instrumental, while the set closes with Brad’s request to another lover to “Roll With Me” thru life’s long journey.
