Jim Wilson and Phil Jones return with 'Rockers Delight' a four song Ep featuring a mix of songs that the duo recorded while making their “Now Playing” album. While it maybe only a four song Ep, you get is a rock and roll smorgasbord that sounds awesome! The recording has a nice flow to it, the songs work well together. You have, "All Wrong, All Right", that has that The Move meets Slade vibe to it. The next track, "Hott", featuring the legendary Bernie Fowler lending his soulful vocal talents is a pure shot of adrenaline. The rock and roll gospel mover , "I Know" is next and closing things out with "Take Mountain", a ode to Hollywood featuring the one and only Spooner Oldham, who played on Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman", and Wilson Pickett's "Mustang Sally" on organ. Jim Wilson's influences are all present here and that's what I appreciate about him. He wears his influences on his sleeve and shows his appreciation through his music. Jim Wilson is an incredible singer and guitar player, who should be more well known than he is, in my opinion. His ability to write memorable songs, sing with a soulful r&b vibe, and play a variety of various styles makes him a triple threat. Take a listen to 'Rockers Delight', and you will hear and feel where I'm coming from. - Tony @ The Dedicated Rocker Society
