Mammoth WVH - You're To Blame
Friday Release in the Time of Coronavirus #71
This time, "You're To Blame", the fantastic second single from the debut album by Mammoth WVH, the solo project of Wolfgang Van Halen, son of guitarist Eddie Van Halen.
Wolfgang played bass in Van Halen after their reunion and appeared on their 2012 reunion album, "A Different Kind of Truth". He later played on Tremonti's albums "Cauterize" (2015) and "Dust" (2016).
The first single released from the upcoming self-titled album was "Distance" which Wolfgang dedicated to his father Eddie Van Halen after his death.
Wolfgang said he had not intended to include the song on the album, but after his father's death he decided to add it as a bonus track. The video for this moving song features home footage of Eddie, Wolfgang and their family.
As mentioned, the album's second single, "You're To Blame", was released yesterday, and it is simply excellent.
It is worth noting that Wolfgang wrote every song on the album, sings and plays all the instruments.
He based the name Mammoth WVH on one of Van Halen's earliest names: in 1972, the band was called Mammoth. He said he asked his father and uncle Alex for permission to use it, adding WVH, the initials of his own name.
The album is due out on June 11, 2021, with 13 tracks plus the bonus track "Distance". From what we have heard so far, Eddie Van Halen certainly has reason to be proud...
