Wreckless Eric (born Eric Goulden on May 18, 1954 in East Sussex, England) was part of the pub-rock scene before he became one of the earliest artists to be signed to Stiff Records. Even as a singer-songwriter with a distinct singing voice, his records failed to chart but his live shows were his main successes, winning him a faithful audience to whom he continues to play to this day.
Interest in Wreckless Eric’s music was renewed with the inclusion of the song “Whole Wide World” on the soundtrack to the movie “Stranger Than Fiction” (2006). The movie features a scene where the leading man (played by Will Ferrell) sings the song while he strums timidly on his guitar.
The same song also appeared in “Me Without You” a few years earlier.

My dad introduced me to Wreckless Eric with Semaphore Signals when I was 10. I only remembered him when I saw Stranger Than Fiction recently. I've got to pick up the rest of his stuff. I didn't know Be Stiff was his, as I had only heard the Devo versions before.

I'm new to this stuff so bear with me- www4zzzfm.org.au (check it out- now streaming-however that goes) - first non-establishment FM station in Australia (Dec 8,1975) purveyor of fine and original music and still going strong yay!!! ZzZ was(is) at the forefront of reality and Wreckless Eric was a bit of a staple item back in the day especially 'Take The K.A.S.H' (only just found out the spelling-never saw it written before) haven't heard it for ages and called up the UK show to request it but as is to be expected only 'www' w-w-w-was available still a great track but need to hear more . Be good if the old bugger came for a trip 'downunder' ciao fer now

thats sick that to so many people Eric has only one song. There might be weaker tracks but just listen to Bungalow Hi.. its so impressive!

Thanks to Stranger Than Fiction I've just heard Eric for the first time (as far as I know of). Whole Wide World is great!! I've got to see if anything else is as good, but so far the few songs I've heard are not.
