Black Jack Wilson

All Glory Is Fleeting (2014)

Dudecore

I never thought I would see the day Black Jack Wilson (formerly Frank White) actually release a full length album and it was so much worth the wait. With their hiatus I surely lost all hope until the announcement came about of a new album. Detroit's Black Jack Wilson play a brand of punk rock we are all familiar with honest, caring, catchy and they just don't give a fuck! And it shows with how many uses of fuck they use in each song.

All Glory is Fleeting starts with opener "1%" with a nice bass intro reminds me of early rancid. Clocking in at :38 seconds it brings you in and rips your face off in the process. With 13 tracks this album has everything new and old school punk fans will enjoy. Each song has an anthemic chorus and sing along parts it will make you wanna grab some PBR, your best friend and drink and scream along. This album will bring you back to your roots of punk and make you actually feel something for music and punk that you thought wasn't there anymore.

The track, "Fade Away", features a guitar solo by the band's long time friend Ryan Collins (The Swellers). With additional solos from Mike Supina (A Wilhelm Scream), Pat Supina on the keys (The Mutants) and guest appearances by Matt Wixson, Jeff Supina, Jimmy V and Alex Thorpe. Not like they needed the help I'm sure they were just stoked to work with these people on the long awaited full length. "Woodward" has to be my favorite track, being from Detroit and all this song makes me wanna pack up my little car and go downtown for a good ole punk rock show.

Black Jack Wilson pulls out an album that keeps you positive and excited about punk rock. In a scene and world where trends are followed and music is unoriginal and dull. All glory is fleeting is that album of stick to your roots, not give a fuck what people say and think energy. Black Jack Wilson truly released an amazing album here fan or not can't help but show respect.
