Originally released in 2003 before it was reissued by
Free Dirt
in 2007,
the Wilders
'
Spring a Leak
is a spirited romp through an
old-timey
set of vintage
country
,
folk
, and
rockabilly
songs. Lead singers
Betse Ellis
and
Ike Sheldon
have authentically
vocal styles that mesh perfectly with the all-acoustic instrumentation. The song selection is equally pitch-perfect, ranging from a ripping take on
Fred Rose
's
chestnut
"Settin' the Woods on Fire"
to some seriously old-school
blues
bluegrass
standards like
"Keep My Skillet Good and Greasy"
"Ida Red,"
the
song that was the direct inspiration for
Chuck Berry
"Maybelline,"
given an arrangement that makes plain the newer song's debt. Without making a fetish of their "authenticity" -- the downfall of so many bands that attempt this kind of musical wayback machine --
have a deep and abiding knowledge and reverence for their material. But just as importantly,
is a mighty fun time. ~ Stewart Mason
