The Winetree - Kentucky

It's not likely that you've ever heard of The Winetree, unless of course you run around in the same circle of friends that I do. The Winetree consists of a couple of guys that went to college at Kentucky Christian University shortly before I arrived there and with whom I share many mutual friends.

Kentucky, at first listen, is undeniably good, with Ryan's vocals blending with guitars and Isaiah's incredible violin playing. The songs are fun and at times cute, but never anything shy of amazing. Personally, however, this album represents a specific period of time in my life. It was during the late summer/early fall of 2006, shortly after I had moved home from Indiana. I was working mornings at a gas station and everyday during my lunch break, I would eat a turkey sandwich in my car with an open newspaper and The Winetree to keep me company. I can't hardly sit in my volvo without wanting to hear this record.

I will forever love this album and it's about time that I shared it. Unfortunately, the band has since broken up, but have heart because Isaiah is still creating music [from what I hear] and you can also always enjoy Kentucky [it pairs well with a turkey sandwich and a local paper].
