With his first release since 2015, Seattle based Indie-folk hero Rocky Votolato returns with Wild Roots, an intimate concept album inspired by and written for his family. Each song a letter dedicated to a specific family member and focused on a special memory or moment in time. After losing his child in December of 2021 in a tragic car accident, the entire album, and especially the song Becoming Human, now a posthumous love letter, takes on an even deeper while devastatingly bittersweet meaning. The production on Wild Roots is hushed, handcrafted, and warm - an intimate and personal experience that brings the nature of Votolato's storytelling to life in very authentic and genuine ways. Produced, engineered, and mixed by Votolato himself, the record is a deliberate construction of his conceptual vision and new phase of his recording career. Evergreen, 23 Stitches, Glory (Broken Dove), There Is a Light, X1998X, Becoming Human, Breakwater, Little Black Diamond, Archangels of Tornados, The Great Pontificator, The Wildest Horses, Little Lupine, Bella Rose, Southpaw, Texas Scorpion (The Outlaw Blues)
