Will Wilde Premieres New Video ‘Don’t Play With Fire’ from Hit Album ‘Blues Is Still Alive’
After the chart-topping success of his latest album ‘Blues Is Still Alive’ released via VizzTone Label Group, Will Wilde releases the official video for ‘Don’t Play With Fire’, an up-tempo track with a 60’s blues vibe.
Wilde comments on the track “I drew a lot of inspiration from the Paul Butterfield Blues Band on this one. It’s a blast to play live and always gets the crowd moving. I’m looking forward to playing it on our upcoming European Tour”
Brave Rival’s Lindsey Bonnick, Brave Rival alumni Chloe Josephine, and Will’s sister Dani Wilde, provide soulful backing vocals.
Released in February 2025, Blues Is Still Alive, reached #5 on the Official UK Jazz & Blues Chart and hitting the #1 spot on the IBBA Chart.
A highlight of the record is Wilde’s intense harmonica style, which pushes the boundaries of blues rock. Guitar legend Walter Trout, who features on the album, calls him: “The best harmonica player on the planet.”
Will plays customized Wilde-Tuned harmonicas, which enable him to get more ‘guitar-like’ expression on the high notes. In other news Will Wilde has just released a new online course, The Ultimate Blues Rock Course For Wilde Tuning, where he teaches how to play the harmonica solo from this song and others on the Blues Is Still Alive album: www.willwildeharmonicamasterclass.com
