The Wilkinsons: Amanda Wilkinson, Tyler Wilkinson, Steve Wilkinson.Producers: Tony Haselden, Russ Zavitson, Doug Johnson."26 Cents" was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.Personnel: John Willis, Tony Haselden, Biff Watson (acoustic guitar); Brent Rowan (electric guitar); Sonny Garrish (steel guitar); Will Smith (autoharp); John Hobbs, Tony Harrell (keyboards); Joe Chemay (bass guitar); Tom Rowan, Tom Roady, Shannon Forrest (drums, percussion).Audio Mixer: Ed Seay.Recording information: Emerald sound Studio, Nashville, TN; Music Mill, Nashville, TN; Recording Art; Sound Stage Studio, Nashville, TN.Photographer: Jim Shea.Unknown Contributor Roles: Steve Wilkison; Don Cobb; Tyler Wilkinson; Amanda Wilkinson.A group made up of a father and his teenage son and daughter sounds a bit suspect--shades of LeAnn Rimes and Taylor Hanson singing with a chaperone. But The Wilkinsons--father Steve, 16 year old Amanda and 14 year old Tyler--prove that the family that plays together makes great music. Their debut, NOTHING BUT LOVE, is an instantly enjoyable collection of country songs, seven of which were penned by Steve. The trio's vocals blend perfectly and Amanda, who sings most of the leads, has an outstanding voice.Because of the kids' ages, the subject matter deals mostly with young love ("Boy Oh Boy," "Don't I Have A Heart"). Standouts include "26 Cents," in which a young girl leaves home for the first time, taking along "a penny for your thoughts/a quarter for the call/and all of your momma's love." In the beautifully sung "Fly," a girl suspects her boyfriend is an angel in disguise. "Williamstown" is a Romeo & Juliet story of a poor boy and a girl who's stuck "on the right side of the tracks." NOTHING BUT LOVE is a terrific debut which banishes any concern that the Wilkinsons are simply a novelty act.
