Synopsis

Amazon.com
There's something incredibly cool about slide guitar, and Ed Williams (the Li'l Ed of Li'l Ed & the Blues Imperials) knows what it is. Get Wild!, the group's fourth album for Alligator Records, is the perfect party spin--even when Li'l Ed and company slow down (as they do for the I've-done-wrong-in-my-life, gospel-inflected "Change My Way of Living"), it's still high-octane. James "Pookie" Young has some of the fattest bass on CD, and his lines support uptempo, high-energy songs like "Singing Slide," "You Got to Stop," "Independent Superwoman," and "Nothing I Wouldn't Do." If Williams (who learned his technique from uncle and slide guitar legend J.B. Hutto) isn't the most technically accomplished guitar-slinger on the planet, he makes up for that in sheer infectious enthusiasm. Get Wild! is fun all the way through. --Genevieve Williams

Another great party album from Lil' Ed!
11/05/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Lil' Ed sings and plays with a fury and enthusiasm that is unmatched. The band provides a relentless driving groove for Ed to slither, slide, and work his magic. From start to finish this album grabs a hold of you, shakes you, and does not let you quit moving. The songs are great too. In them Lil Ed tells fun stories and some sad ones too. You can tell he lives the blues and it has always been important to him. One of the best albums I have heard in a long time. It might even be Lil Ed's best."
