The five piece band is led by guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Evan Walton and their musicianship is simply second to none.
The quieter folky feel brings the album to a close with the live lazy sounding Lovin' Spoonful styled 'Sixteen Beers'. My favourite track though has to be the deliciously crazy Mellowing-Yellowing Donovan-influenced 'The Mighty Withlacoochee'. Wineskin hail from Bucks County in Pennsylvania and their sound is rooted in rock's 50 year old worldwide heritage which they've distilled and synthesised into a darned good debut. One moment they're flailing you with pounding sharp-soloing rock numbers like 'Two To Go', 'Make It Work' and the mighty 'Stalker Love', the next they confidently come up with Don Henley-styled mid-tempo country rock songs like the album's opening cut 'A Thousand Tomorrows' and the spacey melodic 'Vagabond'. They draw on a wide range of influences from Zeppelin to Thin Lizzy, from Little Feat and Neil Young, to the Band, and even the Drive By Truckers. I first came across Wineskin via the internet music site ReverbNation a few months ago and was instantly struck by their musicality and intuitive understanding of rock 'n' roll then and now.

The first place he directs him to, was the sepulchre of one of his ancestors there he must be reminded of his own mortality, and now that he had a crown before him, must think of his grave, in which all his honour would be laid in the dust. For Saul's further satisfaction, Samuel gives him some signs which should come to pass the same day. The sacred anointing, then used, pointed at the great Messiah, or Anointed One, the King of the church, and High Priest of our profession, who was anointed with the oil of the Spirit, not by measure, but without measure, and above all the priests and princes of the Jewish church. Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:1-8 Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:1-8 You must wait for seven days until I arrive and give you further instructions." I will join you there to sacrifice burnt offerings and peace offerings. 7 After these signs take place, do what must be done, for God is with you. You will be changed into a different person. 6 At that time the Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them. They will be playing a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre, and they will be prophesying. 5 "When you arrive at Gibeah of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is located, you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the place of worship. 4 They will greet you and offer you two of the loaves, which you are to accept.

They will tell you that the donkeys have been found and that your father has stopped worrying about them and is now worried about you. 2 When you leave me today, you will see two men beside Rachel's tomb at Zelzah, on the border of Benjamin.
