Lil’ Red & The Rooster’s new album 7 is a record that lives and breathes in the spaces where blues, soul, jazz and gospel intersect, and it radiates the kind of joy that only comes from musicians who are completely in sync with one another.

With “Wild’s Rising”, Lil’ Red & The Rooster don’t just release another single. They write the next chapter in blues history.
Conceived as a spiritual sequel to B.B. King’s “I’m Going Home”, the song radiates gospel warmth, rootsy authenticity and a deep personal connection to its inspiration. This is a living, breathing celebration of the blues as a vessel for joy, resilience and community.
Sometimes the most powerful songs don’t shout. They whisper, gently guiding you inward.
