A Wilder Alias is an album by American vocalists Jackie Cain and Roy Kral featuring performances recorded in 1973 and released on the CTI label.
Reception
The Allmusic review states "A Wilder Alias features the brilliant vocal interplay and crisply harmonized lines the two were known for, albeit in a more modal and experimental setting befitting the aesthetic of the time period... These are ambitious, funky, and somewhat fusion-style cuts that fans of '70s jazz should certainly check out". | rev1 = Allmusic | rev1Score =
