Feb 14, 2023: American Songwriter: ​Behind the Band Name: Wet Willie
​Before they were Wet Willie, the Mobile, Alabama-formed band was called Fox.
“Fox was formed in 1969 by myself, Jack Hall, and Rick Hirsch,” Jimmy Hall explained in a 2007 interview, originally published in Bands Of Dixie. “Along with John Anthony on keyboards and guitar and Lewis Ross on drums, we were the five original players that [became] Wet Willie a year later.”
