Select Global is proud to announce the album launch of Ballad of a Young Married Man by Alt Country newcomers The Wildes.

Although new on the scene the band has already created a stir with several album of the weeks under their sleeve including, ABC Radio National, Dig Country radio, ABC Saturday Night Country & several community radio stations.

The kind of country that The Wildes play is a million miles from the homogenized, super-slick commercial stuff you hear coming out of Nashville (and even Tamworth). They have a far more blues – and - roots take on the genre, which is perhaps why they are able to win over so many fans that otherwise claim to "hate country music". In actual fact The Wildes don't just win them over, instead they tend to whip them into a frenzy of unadulterated whooping and hollering such as you might expect to see and hear in some Pentecostal church in the proverbial 'deep south'.
