Happy Birthday: Peter Wolf of The J. Geils Band

Today we celebrate the birthday of Peter Wolf, the vocalist who first came to fame as the frontman for The J. Geils Band, and to commemorate the occasion, we’ve compiled the albums released during the course of the band’s tenure on Atlantic Records and plunked them down in a playlist. In addition, we’ve also added Wolf’s 1996 solo album LONG LINE, which was released on Reprise Records and is therefore part of our catalog. Before you get to listening to the playlist, however, we thought we’d offer up a reminder of some of the other solo material released by Wolf during his career. Give it a listen, won’t you? If not for us, then for the birthday boy, surely…

1. “Oo-Ee-Diddley-Bop”

2. “Lights Out”

3. “I Need You Tonight”

4. “Can’t Get Started”

5. “Come As You Are”
