I saw King Wilkie performing on a local-access TV channel when I was living in East Tennessee and was extremely impressed. I soon purchased their album Broke and was impressed by it as well.
However, this album is a bit too much of a... (Read full review at Amazon)

I am a long-time Wilkie Fan and have been following the band for several years...but I was irked by the band's carelessness in producing a record that pales in comparison to their other efforts. The three stars they earned are for a few total... (Read full review at Amazon)

This is a good CD, but almost all the tracks are the same slow pace. I miss the upbeat and more traditional bluegrass of their previous CD. Don't listen to it on a long drive to work. But it's great to hear when you're feeling melancholy or just... (Read full review at Amazon)

Do yourself a favor and buy/download/share this album. Best so far of 2007, and combines influences such as the beach boys, the byrds, stones, simon/garfunkel. But the voices here (both literal and lyrical) set them apart as their own. They aren't... (Read full review at Amazon)

| Low Country Suite Full Description |
 |
Even as they were named 2004's Emerging Artist of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association, the sound of King Wilkie was extending outward in directions that could no longer be comfortably contained under the bluegrass banner. The band spent the next two years touring non-stop, building a die-hard following and honing an idiosyncratic new sound. The result is the evocative, harrowing Low Country Suite - a dramatic push into uncharted sonic terrain. Produced by Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Dixie Chicks, Wilco), Low Country Suite draws on the pioneering spirit of Sweetheart of the Rodeo-era Byrds, Gram Parsons' solo LPs, and "Country Honk" Stones, while the album's gentler songs are equally informed by the stark, confessional folk of Nico, Nick Drake, and Leonard Cohen. Haunting yet strangely uplifting, Low Country Suite is the captivating sound of a band willing to leave precedent behind to create intoxicating new music from the jagged remains of yesterday. |
