Tim Wolf’s “Born In A Hurricane” fuses musical influence with his own artistic individuality. The track is a nod to Wolf’s early obsession with blues and blues-rock heroes, but also exposes his own alternative singer-songwriter leanings, making this a release born of both homage and his own voice.
Wolf wrote the song while heavily absorbed in the music of singers like Gary Clark Jr., Albert King, B.B. King and Freddie King. Those inspirations form an important part of the song’s basis, linking it to a long-standing blues heritage and helping explain the musical approach behind the release.
“Born In A Hurricane” is more than a backward glance exercise. He channels such influences into his own artistic world, where the blues and blues-rock influences can meet his alternative singer-songwriter approach. That balance gives the song a sense of personal identity, not just memories.
It’s fascinating to hear how an artist’s listening habits and musical discoveries can eventually become part of their own creative language. Wolf's absorption in the work of these blues figures spurred the development of a song that illustrates where those inspirations meet his own tastes.
