Judgment Day (Richard Henderson) Gotta get some money Scrimp and save Bum, beg or borrow Gotta work all day I need a lot of money For just a little time Things ain’t been the same Since you ain’t been mine Come back Baby Back before Judgment Day Won’t you come back Baby Back before Judgment Day I need some money for the meter Won’t you let me stay Used to be a sinner Wanna be a saint Some things I used to do Would make my mama faint But when I see you Out on the street My best intentions Are in full retreat Wake up Baby Wake up before Judgment Day Wake up Baby Wake up before Judgment Day I’ve got some money for your meter I’m gonna stay

about

The Wanted reconstruct an eclectic mix of vintage and original songs infused with a spirit that is darkly haunting, incisively witty, or just plain fun. AltCountryForum (Europe’s leading roots music publication) describes the band's performances as: “…full of contagious, raucous, hip swaying music…Simply irresistible!”

Tracks from The Wanted CD have aired on CBC Radio 1 and many other roots music programs throughout North America and around the world, and have tallied close to a half-million Spotify streams. Recording is now underway at The Hangar, the Cowboy Junkies’ studio, for "Strange Flight", The Wanted second album, which will be released later this year and produced by Michael Timmins, the Cowboy Junkies’ award-winning producer, songwriter, and guitarist.

“The Wanted embrace country music, blues, bluegrass and rockabilly, combining vocal harmonies, great musicianship and original material for a fresh take on a genre that’s long overdue for a revival. Their show will transport you to another era, so hop on board for a great ride.” — Mariposa Folk Festival

“If you want to know about roots, and some blues and rock and country and bluegrass, all rolled into one, an incredible mix, this is the band for you!” — Hudson Music Festival, Quebec
