Though the uptempo "Wrecking Ball" shows that King Wilkie can function just fine as a straightforward bluegrass band, most of the music by the acoustic Virginia sextet draws more from classic rock and vintage country, and particularly from the influences where the two converge. The harmonies of "Millie's Song" recall those of the Everly Brothers, "Savannah" sounds like one of the Band's evocations of the American South, the singalong "Crazy Daisy" and the atmospheric insistence of "Stone & Steel" suggest the Byrds of the same era, and the honky-tonk shuffle of "Angeline" draws from the country side of the Rolling Stones.  Yet bittersweet ballads such as "Rockabye (Farewell Lonesome Dove)" and "Captivator" are the sort of material that could fit just fine on country radio.  From the chamber strings of "Oh My Love" to the ragtime whistle of "Ms. Peabody," this label debut showcases a band of impressive range, depth, and potential.--Don McLeese
