Free Music Notes for Diamonds in the Sun Album
Free Music Review: Just too much honky-tonk fodder
Hit: 3 Stars
I really wanted to like "Diamonds in the Sun" by Walt Wilkins & the Mystiqueros more than this. The name of the band, a great front cover on the CD case, and overall great reviews made me think this recording would be something special. This seems a band of equals, and they are clearly a skilled set of musicians. And about a quarter of the songs really are quite good----You Can't Outdrink the Truth, Diamonds in the Sun, Red River Blues, and Stand Up Seven.
But there is just too much honky-tonk fodder among the rest of the album, songs that stick to the tried and true themes for my taste. That said, only Just Like Hank, yet another take on the Hank Williams legend----which is about as dry a well as there is in this genre of music----elicits an immediate tap of the skip track button.
