I found this album in the radio station at my school; the cover looked kinda spiffy, so I decided to take a listen. It was labelled something like "70's-style rock," and yeah, whoever wrote that is right. The classic-rock influences range from ELO to Dylan to Crosby, Stills and Nash, but the band is also little Wilco-ish at times too, a nice blend of old and new. The greatest song by far is "Battleship of Thieves," which I listen to a lot. "The Leisure Class," "Blood of Robert Frost," and "Transparancies" are decent too, and "The Perfect Line" is rather pretty. Ok, there are a few mediocre songs thrown in, but the whole thing flows well. All in all, it's a shame this group isn't recieving more recognition outside of Minnesota, where it is apparantly getting rave reviews from local music guides. So, give Walker Kong a chance!
