"Webb Wilder (the group) is somewhat of an enigma;

they've never gotten either the recognition or

airplay they deserve. Like fellow NashVegans,

Jason & The Scorchers, they're 'too country for

Rock radio and too Rock for Country radio',

even though Webb's got one of his size 13 EEE's

in both country and Rock! OK, enough of the

schtick, eh? Their sound has never been clearer

or better than here and and when I saw them LIVE

at (get this:)The jewish Mother [Deli/& Blues Bar

Band joint](the one that got Busted (not Cheap

Trick), on Sixty Minutes for selling alcohol to

Minors!) in Jan. '93 they were superb. Too bad

only 23 people showed up! [In other words slightly

more than bought Tom Peterson's '84 solo release!]



All the songs, including the ever-present covers

sounded great here. Awesome effort guys and hope

you can get this solid effort back in print. The

fine video 'Corn Flicks' promotes this effort as

well. As with all Webb's efforts, 'Pick Up On It'."

I listen to this cd all of the time

"This is the first Webb Wilder cd that I bought, and I fell instantly in love with all things Webb. Doo Dad is full of standout tracks, but to me the introspective "The Rest Will Take Care Of Itself" is my favorite song on the cd, and one of the best songs ever written.
If you are familiar with Webb Wilder, Doo Dad is what you have come to expect from the last of the full grown men. It's a solid album, with no filler whatsoever.
I had the pleasure of talking to Webb last year before a show and he is a real down to earth guy. He just loves to play, and that comes across in his music. Everybody that I have let listen to this cd has loved it.
Webb has always defied classification, and I think it's better that way. There is only one Webb."

Thank God for Philly Radio

"Due to the surprising chance to hear "Tough It Out" on regular radio play, I was itroduced to Webb's music and bought "Doo Dad" (tho I had to special order it) while it was still in print. I have never looked back. This album comes out roaring with "Tough It Out" and hooks you with its hard lyrics, riffs, and punchy drums. Then thru the weird wild ride Webb takes you to the world of rockabilly and space cowboy music you go from earth to space in "Sputnik", the back to earth with the mysogonistic "King of the Hill" and finally calms down from that frenetic ride with "And the Rest (Will Take Care of Itself)." Truly one of best of Webb it is a great album for people to see all the sides of Webb and not get distracted from some of the surreal pontificating that happens on albums like the fun "Town & Country" cd. If you can find a copy, BUY IT. You won't be sorry. Each track is great. Next I suggest a little "Hybrid Vigor" to wet your Webb whistle."
