Rock 'n' Roll Artists A-Z...Wet Willie

http://www.ktb.net/~insync/wet_willie.html

WET WILLIE began as a thrown together blues-rock band during the magical Summer of 1969 "way down in Alabama"...(Mobile, to be precise). The original nucleus of the group that eventually became known as Wet Willie was called Fox. The first "gig" was a booking in Panama City, Florida at a club called the Oddessy, a geodesic dome right on the beach. For those who must have a concept, or reason and meaning behind every occurring work in any medium of art, the only one I can think of was "fun". Raw, hormonal...fun. This page is dedicated to Wet Willie and all who were associated with the band, which continues to perform today around the Southeast.

WHO...

Wet Willie was home to many musicians who entered the realm of Willidom, depending somewhat on what extra instruments were needed to follow up the latest album release. But from 1969 through 1976, the nucleus, the original five members were always in place. They were:

Discography

Wet Willie has had a longer recording career than is realized by many of even the most diehard fans. It actually spanned from 1970 through 1982, which, by today's standards for recording bands/artists, is a quite lengthy recording career. The first segment of that period was at CAPRICORN RECORDS from 1970 through 1976. The second segment was for EPIC from 1977 through around 1982. During the Capricorn period, there were eight albums and multiple singles released. During the Epic phase, there were two albums and two singles released. Currently, REBOUND and CHRONICLES, subsidiaries of POLYGRAM Records, have released several compilation CD's drawing exclusively from the CAPRICORN archives/masters. In addition, CAPRICORN, Wet Willie's original label, has now reissued the band's entire catalogue (only the Capricorn LP's) in CD format with great integrity to the original packaging and artwork. ( Pretty amazing, really...) Following is a discography of all known releases with the song titles included.
