Customer Reviews of Rivertown
another winner This is another great cd by walt wilkins, after the milk and honey which I found lacking and disappointing.
Walt Wilkins is one of the best unnknown singer songwriters, and there are many great ones these days. his music flows through cajum and folk and a great violin. His voice is very effective and his songwriting describing the life of ordinary people is some of the best songwriting coming anywhere in the US.
I first heard Wilkins in a tape a friend sent me 10 years ago, it was his debut and very hard to find "Bull creek souvenir", I listened to it in my walkman every time I walked for many many months. It was amazing. I had a hard time finding it on cd, until I found a seller in switzerland who had a copy. I listen to it very often. For those who liked his two newer cd's I think a rerelease of his debut, which is one of the best debut I have ever listened to, is a must.
Maybe a record label will soon do it.
Anyone interrested in the likes of Guy Clark, Mickey Newbury, Townes Van zandt, Richard shindell, etc... should listen to this cd and this guy.
Rivertown is a great place to start. Order it.
One of my Top Ten Desert Island CDs!!
The writing on this records is brilliant and evocative. Walt's honest, soulful voice brings the stories within the songs to life. The artwork and blue jewel case are really cool, too, easy to pick out in the CD rack, though the disc itself is never far from the player. If I were to list my favourite songs it would include the entire song list. From the first to the last these songs are treasures, you will never tire of this album.
Songs of faith and devotion
I never heard of this guy when I bought this CD. Knew nothing about the music except that it was filed in the Country section. I had a few dollars left on a gift certificate at the local music store. Cover art was kind of cool so I thought what the heck and bought it. Although it was priced at $$$$, it has received significantly more 'carousel time' than the other CDs I purchased that day at full price.
Easy to like, easy to listen to and it won't insult your intelligence. I wouldn't call him a "Christian recording artist" but Wilkin's faith in God shines through on virtually every track. His soulful voice really does resemble Dobie Gray's, and the music is rootsy/folksy with a fair amount of twang. I especially like the tracks Genevieve and Some Men Fall. The music sounds a lot like the roots/folk band Tandy.
My only complaint is that after repeated listenings a sense of sameness pervades...in other words some of the songs sound quite similar to each other.
