RFIDtag 'Good Old American Values' was my introduction to Lula Wiles. If memory serves, I heard it on NPR and immediately sought out the album. I own it on CD, but I love this band so much that I repurchased it on Bandcamp in digital format. Keep the music coming! Favorite track: Good Old American Values.

Tajafa 🎵 Nobody's told how it's supposed to be
Love is a crooked line, I'm learning that the truth ain't free
If I'd known better I'd have run away
But I've been tethered by a rope that I couldn't see 🎵 Favorite track: If I Don't Go.

tok_brew The track "Bad Guy" stands out the most, on an overall groovy album. I'm sure that I'll enjoy many good listens. Hope you make it to Mile of Music, once the pandemic settles down.

setnetradio Incredible harmonies, and well crafted songs that transport the listener.
Living within view of an active volcano in Alaska on the edge of Cook Inlet where a controversial open-pit copper/gold mine is under consideration for development makes "Shaking as it Turns" a track with a profound appeal for this listener. Favorite track: Shaking As It Turns.

about

On 'What Will We Do,' Lula Wiles channel infectious energy and bold insight into music that strikes with purpose. The band fosters contradiction, embracing the spirit of traditional American music, yet unflinchingly calling into question the virtues of the culture that produces it— country songs that shine a light on a country’s crimes; love songs about being alone; murder ballads that challenge the standards of morality. Lula Wiles exist in the tense space where tradition and revolution meet, from which their harmonies rise into the air to create new American music.
