Selected by WERS as this month’s album of the month, Midnight Souvenirs, is Wolf's seventh solo album and is receiving rave reviews. It integrates rock, R&B, blues, folk, and country and features duets with country legend Merle Haggard, Shelby Lynne, and Neko Case.
“Though original, the music has the authority of classic R&B, old-time country, Philly soul, Mississippi cotton-picker blues and more. The musicians are the finest that money can't buy.”
