Following the release of Wylie Hunter & The Cazadores‘ eponymous debut, critics were quick to point out the similarities between the 23-year-old songwriter and the 61-year-old veteran commonly recognized as ‘The Boss.’

“Wylie Hunter & The Cazadores isn’t the first band to trace the footsteps of Bruce Springsteen,” The Daily Tar Heel’s Linnie Greene wrote of the band. “There’s a long tradition of men with guitars warbling through history, lamenting lost loves and lonely sojourns.”
In fact, one listen to “Get On Up!” from the band’s EP and you’ll be hit with a track the bears a striking resemblance to the title track from Springsteen’s 2002 album The Rising.
But as Greene goes on to explain, “There are plenty of differences between the Chapel Hill frontman and the Boss.” Those differences are what Hunter hopes will shine on the band’s follow-up, which isn’t too far off.
“I’ve listened to plenty of Bruce Springsteen,” Hunter explained. “I don’t deny his influence, but I definitely think I do my own thing. I hope that those comparisons not go away, but be pushed to the side when people see us as we continue to grow and do new, different things.”
While many of the songs that appear on the band’s debut were written during Hunter’s solo days as an acoustic singer-songwriter playing the open-mic circuit, Hunter says the next release should have much more of a band presence.
“Most of [the songs on the first album] were written before I met these guys,” Hunter said. “That being said, I wouldn’t call them the same songs by any stretch; they’ve been made completely different by this format.”
He added, “I think what we release next will have much more of the band sound.”
For the new album, Hunter is turning to producer Jeff Crawford and Arbor Ridge Studios.
“I think he’s really good at understanding what it is that you want to hear and getting it for you,” Hunter explained. “He mixed and recorded some of the last record, and I’m really looking forward to working on the full thing with him this time.”
With a resume that includes The Tomahawks, Max Indian, Luego and Brett Harris, Crawford should have little difficulty injecting a little less of The Boss and a little more of Wylie into the Cazadores next release.
