We should all say thank you more often. Parker Millsap does that programmatically right here, followed by the call to really get involved with time instead of just running away from it. This smells preachy, but the Okie breaks up too much of the message with a casual “Front Porchin'” or a bit of “Magic” and stays consistent when at the other end “So Far Apart” has a Kraftwerk beat, “Half A World Away” edgy pulsates and shatters the piano meditation “If We Would Let It” while “Keeping The Love Alive” dreams itself into acoustic gaps. After 13 songs, one is amazed at how well “Wilderness Within You” works as an album, complete with guest Gillian Welch on the title track. George Harrison would not only have liked “By And By”.
