An escalating southern rock charmer, “Wild Rose” opens Bad Whiskey, the latest album from Nikki Wozzo & The Bad Whiskey. The Los Angeles-based artist blends rock, country, and blues throughout the album with seamless appeal. The bluesy verses of “Wild Verses” are nicely punctuated by a suave guitar twang approaching the one-minute mark, shortly thereafter featuring a passionate twist amidst more expressive guitars and rhythms. Approaching two minutes in, a lusher guitar repertoire emerges with delightful results, guiding smoothly into the bluesy initial verses. “Wild Rose” is a stellar opener to an album with a consuming sound for fans of southern rock.
