Will Wilde unveils “Trouble of That Girl” video
This high-energy track takes a bold, contemporary twist on the traditional spiritual song “Trouble of The World,” reimagining it with Wilde’s signature harmonica playing, an electrifying guitar groove and infectious rhythm.
“Trouble Of That Girl” is the third single from his upcoming album BLUES IS STILL ALIVE, set for release on February 28, 2025, via VizzTone Records.
Will says, “I wanted to take a traditional gospel song and give it a fresh perspective, like Willie Dixon did with ‘My Babe’ or Ray Charles did with ‘I’ve Got a Woman’, changing the lyrics to make it about a girl instead of God,” says Wilde. It’s really simple but catchy. Lyrically it’s about making the decision to leave a toxic relationship and move on to better things.”
From the first note, the harmonica delivers a punchy hook that feels both timeless and fresh, later building to a blistering harmonica solo that showcases Wilde’s unparalleled talent. “Trouble of That Girl” merges classic blues and gospel roots with a contemporary edge, drawing comparisons to the likes of Gary Clark Jr. and Samantha Fish.
Will Wilde teamed up with blues guitar legend Walter Trout for the album’s title track “Blues Is Still Alive,” which landed in Classic Rock’s TRACKS OF THE WEEK and SiriusXM Bluesville’s countdown of top blues tunes. “Trouble of That Girl” is sure to further cement his place as a groundbreaking new blues talent.
