Walt Wilkins and the Mystiqueros - Diamonds In The Sun

Walt Wilkins & The Mystiqueros, the legendary Texas songwriter and his new group of talented musicians, have released their debut album in 2007, Diamonds In The Sun.

The CD was produced by Lloyd Maines, and the album includes six tracks by Wilkins, two by band members, and three covers by the likes of The Band, Davis Raines, Ray Stephenson & Bob Dipiero. Live performances are already drawing comparisons to The Eagles, but the band also reflects influences such as Poco, The Lost Gonzo Band, and Crosby, Stills & Nash.

Joining Wilkins on acoustic guitar are Bill Small on bass, percussion and acoustic guitar; John M. Greenberg and Marcus Eldridge on electric guitars; and Ramon Rodriguez on drums and percussion. All five are singers, four are songwriters and each has made his own records. Maines also contributed turns on steel guitar, baritone guitar, acoustic high-string guitar and mandolin.
