Biography
Very popular on a regional level in southern Connecticut, the Wildweeds are remembered today (if at all) for their lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter, Al Anderson. Anderson would go on to join NRBQ, but in the late '60s he was the lynchpin of this interesting band. They most often sounded like a sort of garage version of the Rascals, playing blue-eyed soul with a raw edge. Their recorded output was limited to a few singles on the Chess subsidiary Cadet, some of which were pretty big hits in their neck of the woods, although only one ("No Good to Cry") made even a slight national impact, reaching number 88 on the national charts.
