The Wild Feathers pays its respects to the past, while carving out something new and pretty great.

More The Wild Feathers More The Wild Feathers

A band made up of frontmen who all sing and write; an obvious embrace of country roots; polished musicianship with a Dirty South edge – there's plenty of comparison between The Wild Feathers and Drive-By Truckers, all in the best possible way.

Hailing from Nashville, the band's self-titled debut kicks off strong with the full throttle country infused rock of Backwoods Company and never backs off. Even the slowed down and acoustic Tall Boots still has real, biting edge.
