What Blues Radio is Saying
Southern fried blues at it’s very best, this is what I hear listening to “Red Bird Tattoo”. The music sways and brings the good time feel, even in slower numbers. Hattie is a seasoned singer with a voice that is strong, clear and warm, squeezing out the essence of every song she sings. The whole band sounds great but Johnny Neel’s piano is particularly tasty, blending well with Hattie's vocals. I feel the band's chemistry. All in all, “Red Bird Tattoo” is one of those CDs that brings music that is familiar, but at the same time music that you can’t afford not to hear again! It is my pleasure to feature your music in my shows.

What's New?
Hattie Wilcox Debut CD "Red Bird Tattoo" is now available for
purchase!
Hattie sings the blues sizzling with a pinch of Patsy Cline and Norah Jones, and a dash of Diana Krall. Then she heats it up with a whole lotta soul! In the first 24 hours after Red Bird Tattoo became available for pre-orders, Hattie had CD requests for her songs to be added to playlists from blues radio DJs in Belgium, Italy, France, Poland and Argentina.
The Red Bird Tattoo Band is lead by the one and only Johnny Neel, soul man, harp man and keyboard player formerly of the Allman
Brothers. Johnny Neel is a Grammy-nominated artist and
songwriter who cut his first single at age 12. Arranging all the
songs on Red Bird Tattoo, Johnny is an accomplished songwriter
whose tunes have been
recorded by the Allman Brothers, Joe Louis Walker, John Mayall, Irma Thomas, Ann Peebles, Marie Osmond, the Oak Ridge Boys and Travis Tritt. Taking turns on lead guitar are some of Nashville's finest: Doug Jones on "I Don't Belong To You", Mark Matejka (Lynryd Skynyrd) on "Go It Alone", and Red Bird Tattoo's regular guitarist Brian Davidson on all other songs. Coming soon: Brian's video from the 2007 North American Rock Guitar Competition in which he was selected one of 6 finalists! Dennis Gulley plays bass and engineered all recording and Daryl Burgess is on drums.
