With excellent musicians the songs were recorded in The Netherlands, at the country's most famous studio Wisseloord and in the music capital Hollywood California at Guitar Institute studios. Produced by Quincy Jones’ engineer and Grammy-award winning producer Francis Buckley, with radio and publicity handled by the very successful and world renown Betsie Brown and Blind Raccoon Promotions, this 14 song collection is anticipated to be a top of the charts Blues Rock album for 2024.

The album follows up the 2023 album Lovers Before Sunrise that has already produced three #1 songs on radio charts in Brad's home state of California with "Black Coffee At Sunrise," "I'm Ready" and “Blues Before Sunrise.” That album is still currently on all worldwide charts in the Top 30 albums played on independent radio. The new album’s release includes an international tour with shows in Belgium, The Netherlands and United States. Wilson is known for his outstanding guitar playing in concert and performing hit songs with a stellar group of musicians in his band.

An international guitarist/singer/songwriter, Wilson achieved the #1 USA Blues Rock album in July 2022. The first single, “Tales Of Brave Ulysses," also charted at #1. This worldwide smash album, Brad ‘Guitar” Wilson also charted in the Top 20 most played radio albums in the UK and Australia. Wilson has toured numerous times with the legendary band, Chicago. Already a five-album-charting hit maker on worldwide radio, he scored his first U.S. #1 movie track with the song “Teaser” from John Carpenter’s film, Vampires, a collaboration with producers The Robb Brothers. Other major accomplishments include his television songs featured on CBS and NBC.

If you didn’t know the title of the opening track on Brad “Guitar” Wilson, when the guitar kicks off, you might well think you’re about to hear a John Lee Hooker cover. But no. “Ballad Of John Lee” is both a Wilson original and an all-out tribute to the blues giant. And what better way to honor him than to frame it in Hooker’s trademark boogie rhythm and sprinkle it with some of the bluesman’s lowdown “how-how-how” vocalisms.

The self-produced album’s dozen tracks are split evenly between Wilson tunes and renditions of some significant blues classics. While the economical production features only guitar, bass, drums and occasionally keyboards, this bare-bones approach allows the focus to be squarely on Wilson’s tasty guitar and its killer tones. Tracks two through five are all covers. Having already given a tip of the hat and a raise of the glass to one blues legend, Wilson pays homage to four more beginning with a rousing shuffle, namely Muddy Waters’ “Walkin’ Thru The Park,” which gives way to B.B. King’s “Rock Me Baby.”

Wilson’s modus operandi is not only to utilize a traditional call-and-response between his voice and guitar, but also to have them overlap on some numbers, essentially creating a double lead in which his axe doesn’t echo his vocal but rather offers its own lines simultaneously with neither crowding out the other. Completing the foursome of consecutive covers is a nod to Stevie Ray Vaughan with a house-rockin’ (what else?) “House Is Rockin’,” followed and contrasted by a soulful take on Freddie King’s “Someday After Awhile.”

A pair of Wilson originals includes “You’re The One For Me,” a departure from standard blues formats and a vocal hook that may bounce around your noggin long after the album ends. “All Kinds Of A Fool” is classic blues fare: pure self-recrimination with alternately aching and angry guitar underscoring words of regret: “I mistreated you baby/Oh I was wrong/You wouldn't stand for it, no, very long.” The album’s tour de force is a live eight-minute-plus deep dive into Willie Dixon’s “I Can’t Quit You Baby.” The highlight—with the accent on high—comes in his solo when he squeezes out incredible wailing licks waaaaaaaay up on his guitar neck. If the notes were any higher, only a dog would be able to hear them.

With its tropical feel and Wilson’s guitar work upping the humidity, “Hang With A Bang” is another excursion out of the blues arena while “Avatar” is the album’s sole instrumental. Only an artist with Wilson’s chops and confidence would take on the last cover: Cream’s “Tales of Brave Ulysses.” Rather than attempt to out-wah-wah Clapton, Wilson keeps it respectfully Creamy, yet adds his own guitar and vocal phrasing. The final track is “Drivin’,” co-written by Willem Van Kempen. Summing up his musical philosophy as well as the motivation for Brad “Guitar” Wilson, he sings, “Drivin’—there’s nothing that I’d rather do/Drivin’ to play the blues for you.” ~Jim George

For his new release, "Hands On The Wheel", Brad Wilson brings us a blast from his past as he offers up 14 of his best songs from previous releases, and in the process, not only does he whip up his trademark style of incendiary Blues Rock, he also whips up our desire to get in our car, throw this little treasure in the player and start drivin'. For fans of Blues Rock and a little more, you can't go wrong with this beauty. ~John Vermilyea (Blues Underground Network)

Hailing from California, Brad Wilson plays an incendiary brand of blues-rock that is perfect for your next road trip, either with the top down, or, if you are so inclined, astride your Harley. On his latest set for Blues Boulevard Records, “Hands On The Wheel,” Brad covers a lot of ground over the course of these fourteen originals, and holds absolutely nothin’ back as far as the guitar goes. Along with his blistering guitar attack, he’s got one of those gritty, rough-hewn vocal deliveries that just begs for bluesy material such as this.

This set leads off with the title cut, a stone cold ode to the open road, where “I feel free.” “Rocket” is another hot rocker that pays tribute to those machines of “American steel” and “Detroit wheels.” Brad breaks off a cool slide solo at the bridge on this one. He finds himself asking for another chance with a lover, as he realizes he’d be “All Kinds Of A Fool for losing you,” while Francesca Capasso adds duet vocals and promises to help see him thru the night after “blues and Last Call.” “Cruisin The Coast” is a breezy, dueling-guitars, Southern-rock-influenced instrumental, while the set closes with Brad’s request to another lover to “Roll With Me” thru life’s long journey. ~donandsherylsbluesblog
