A Power Pop Must-have (CD Only)

IDLE WILDS - DUMB, GIFTED & BEAUTIFUL (1995)

 

Hailing from Pennsylvania Idle Wilds plays gorgeous pop music that draws a time line directly from the Beatles to Big Star. The band’s debut album, Dumb, Gifted and Beautiful, mixes some fresh originals and new versions of some of the first EP’s best songs. It was recorded at Ardent Studios and produced by John Hampton. Idle Wilds were featured on "Big Star, Small World" (a tribute to Big Star 2006) and "Melody Fair" (a tribute To The Bee Gees 1994). They also were part of the third volume of "Poptopia!: "Power Pop Classics of the 90s". Finally, it was ranked #99 in the The Ultimate Power Pop Guide (2008).
