Background notes

Archive material and source history

Webb Wilder, born David Webb, grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, where he absorbed the sounds of country and gospel music. He formed his band in the early 1980s and started playing clubs in Memphis, Tennessee. His 1986 album "It Came From Nashville" included the song "Do You Know Something (I Don't Know)," which got some radio play and helped build his audience.

Wilder's music mixes country and rockabilly with a sense of humor, heard in tracks like "Jimmy Reed Is the King of Rock and Roll" and "Why Do You Call?" He was dropped by MCA Records in the late 1980s over creative differences, then continued releasing albums independently, including "Full Moon in Memphis" in 1995 and "Webb Wilder, Alive!" in 2008.

His band has included musicians like Doug Tibbles on guitar, Dave Raven on bass, and Mark Winchester on drums. Wilder's later work includes the 2012 album "Mississippi Moderne."
