Luther Wright and the Wrongs are a Canadian alternative country band, consisting of Luther Wright, Camille Giroux, Burke Carroll, Dan Curtis and Sean Kelly.
The band began as a side project for Wright when he was a member of Weeping Tile. When that band amicably parted ways following their 1998 recording This Great Black Night, the Wrongs became Wright's primary band. Weeping Tile leader Sarah Harmer has appeared as a guest musician on several of the Wrongs' albums.
The band's most famous album, 2001's Rebuild the Wall, is a track-by-track reimagining of Pink Floyd's progressive rock classic The Wall as a bluegrass country album.
The band recorded two tracks for the 2006 Steve Goodman tribute album My Old Man, reimagining Goodman's "City of New Orleans" and "Jessie's Jig."
