Day 0487 - Wild Gift

X "Wild Gift" (1981)

 
Punk rock, rockabilly, mixed with almost 1950s-esque pop.  That style, with the combination of male and female vocals makes it feel like a slightly more musical take on the B-52s' sound, or something akin to the wild and woolly retro sound of the Cramps.

An enjoyable album that had my wife and I both bobbing our heads along with it.

The album was produced by ex-Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek, who also played on some of the tracks (I guess he'd have to really wouldn't he.  You wouldn't want to miss that opportunity).
