Wild Gift is the second studio album by American rock band X, released on May 6, 1981,[1][2] by Slash Records. It was very well received critically, and was voted the year's second best album in The Village Voice's Pazz & Jop poll. Wild Gift was later ranked at number 334 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Wild Gift showcases the band's unique punk rock style, which infuses roots rock, country, blues, R&B, and rockabilly.

The track "White Girl" was sampled by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on their 1989 album Mother's Milk, in the song "Good Time Boys".[3] The Chili Peppers song's lyrics mentioned X's John Doe specifically, "whose voice is made of gold". - Wikipedia
