There is a particular strength in finding your musical identity through the musicians that first spark your imagination. "Born In A Hurricane" uses that influence to showcase Tim Wolf's early love of blues and blues-rock giants, while also showcasing his own alternative singer-songwriter feel.
Wolf penned the song at a time when he was deeply influenced by the music of blues giants such as Gary Clark Jr., Albert King, B.B. King, and Freddie King. The last three are famously known as The Three Kings of the Blues, and that places the song in a rich tradition of music made by some of the genre’s most famous figures.
“Born In A Hurricane” exemplifies Wolf’s own approach as an alternative singer-songwriter, a confluence of the blues and a more personal, current perspective. That mix is part of what makes the release interesting. Blues and blues-rock form a vital foundation, but Wolf’s compositional style allows the influence to become part of something completely his own. “Born In A Hurricane” is more than an homage, it’s a testament to how musical influences can be integrated into an artist’s unique creative voice.
