New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Ginger Wildheart & The Sinners have released their debut album, via Wicked Cool Records. Their self-titled LP is an energetic album that celebrates rock'n'roll and as Ginger explains it is in "the spirit of the music that we all collectively love, from childhood to the present day.
Little Feat, The Allman Brothers, Wilco, The Band, Creedence, The Jayhawks, Lone Justice, Jason & the Scorchers, Georgia Satellites, Status Quo, The Stones…from roots country to rock n roll and Americana."
Ginger Wildheart & The Sinners were formed in August 2019 when Ginger joined forces with Neil Ivison and Nick Lyndon from the band Stone Mountain Sinners. The lineup was completed with drummer Shane Dixon (Tri-City Fanfare) and as Ginger explains "Me and The Sinners met for the very first time in the studio, in preparation for recording an album together. We figured out that if we can't get along with each other then the music would be ultimately worthless. So we went to the pub and got drunk together. The next morning the music started flowing with ease. This is the sound of friendship."
The album was recorded at Mwnci studios in Pembrokeshire, Wales, with Dave Draper producing.
The LP kicks off with their first single "Wasted Times," which sets the tone for an album of pure rock n roll, peppered with country touches. The listener will find a further seven original songs, including "Lately, Always" plus two covers: "Dirty Water" by
Status Quo and "Six Years Gone" by Georgia Satellites', the first song Ginger wanted to play with the band back when this was just an idea. "I became a bit obsessed with the song while in LA for Lemmy's funeral, and carried it around in my heart from then until we all congregated at the studio."
There is a refreshingly familiar sound to every one of the songs on the album and it is a masterclass in how to write melodies that pull the heartstrings.
