Wet Willie is an American Southern Rock band from Mobile, Alabama. They were best known for their hit "Keep On Smilin' but had a number of songs that made the charts in the 1970s utilizing their soulful brand of Southern Rock.

Wet Willie put out several albums between 1971 and 1977. Their best-known LP is the 1973 live album, Drippin' Wet, but their main claim to fame is the hit single, "Keep On Smilin,'" which reached #10 on the Billboard singles chart. They also enjoyed some other Billboard-charted songs with "Country Side Of Life," "Everything That 'Cha Do" (Will Come Back To You), "Leona", "Street Corner Serenade" and "Weekend" (definite disco vibe on this one). They toured and recorded extensively from 1969 through the early 1980's, and they still perform today.

These are great albums....pure countrified rockin' soulful blues.

It's a shame they turned ''pop'' towards the end of the 70's, kinda like what J. Geils Band did...they were better when they were a hardcore rockin' blues band, imo. I recommend the early albums.

Cool band...and cool thread, Jersey! :grinthumb
