He Digs Me

Sunday Wilde is a songwriter, pianist and vocalist from the wilds of Northern Ontario, succinct with her lyrics and delivery, and encompassing a fusion of genres. This release is loaded with electricity, sweetness, and dirty raw vocals. Sunday Wilde and team deliver her fifth album.

This selection of 13 songs ranges from dirty blues, blues country, blues ballad, a bit of electric, a bit of acoustic, and even some pop. But no matter which genre you prefer, it is Sunday’s unique vocals and lyrical delivery that make it come together as an emotional story from start to finish.

“Handle Me” is a sexy, demanding “come hither” tune about a woman who knows well that there is only one man that can handle her, a sure choice for blues fans. A plaintive trumpet brings a fresh interpretation to “Sunday's Midnight Blues,” a jazz piece with a slow melancholy mood baring our thoughts of troubles in the night.

“Crying Shame” is bare bones, stripped down to guitar, bass and drums, talking about the grief of being in love with a man that can't do right by her.

There are also some fresh takes on classic covers: Bessie Smith's “Black Mountain Blues,” a quicker, eerie version of this vintage blues tune; Patsy Cline's “I Fall To Pieces,” which maintains the original feel and mood with just subtle changes; as well as her a cappella take of “Walk With Me Lord.”

It is one of the most fascinating singers and songwriters in the blues of the present: Also Sunday Wilde's new album "Hey Digs Me" lives of her incomparable voice and songs between blues, jazz and heartbreaking loneliness. If Sunday Wilde wants, she can rip a alone with her voice the heart: your "Sunday's Midnight Blues" about exudes such longing, such torments and such pain, that it is hardly bearable. Quite reduced are piano and drums, only support the singer. Only the lines of a stuffed trumpet bring into something hopeful ment full lights.

Here is a musician to hear that recognize entirely in their songs are and it creates so to speak directly to our hearts and at a level which is far away from the profane pubs Blues. Sunday Wilde is one of Blue musicians who this old music believable and fascinating to the 21st Can transport.
