Wild Weekend is an album by the American band NRBQ, released in 1989.[2][3] It was the band's first studio album in more than five years, due to disputes with their former label, Bearsville Records.[4]
The album peaked at No. 198 on the Billboard 200.[5] It sold around 75,000 copies in its first nine months of release.[6] NRBQ promoted it by touring with R.E.M.[7] The first single was "It's a Wild Weekend", for which the band shot a video.[8] "If I Don't Have You" was the second single.[9]
The album was produced by Bill Scheniman and Andy Paley.[10] Roswell Rudd and John Sebastian contributed to the album.[11] The title track is a cover of the Rockin' Rebels' song, with lyrics and additional instrumentation.[12] "Boozoo, That's Who!" is about Boozoo Chavis; Chavis played accordion on the song.[13][14] "Poppin' Circumstance" contains a trombone solo.[15] Virgin Records helped the band select tracks for the album.[16]
