 Disappointing August 10, 2008
1 out of 12 found this review helpful
If you thought Dan's release, "Carry Me Across the Mountains" was a fantastic piece of traditional bluegrass work, you were right. If you expect "Wheels" to be of the same genre, you'll be very disappointed. "Wheels" is certainly not what I expected. There's only a couple of tradition bluegrass pieces on the whole CD. Musicianship is excellent but for me it was a disappointing buy. I think sometimes fantastic musicians wander around searching for new horizons but in that search they loose their roots.
 Another Great Release From Tyminski September 29, 2008
Carry Me Across the Mountain was such an incredible collection of good music that it seemed impossible to match it. But Dan Tyminski has done it again, although in different style. This time he's working with a band instead of studio musicians. The band is comprised of musicians who are famous on their own. Barry Bales is the driving bass force behind the music of Alison Krauss & Union Station (Dan Tyminski's usual home as well) and has been for years. Adam Steffey, the mandolin player, (formerly of AKUS, the Isaacs, & young supergroup Mountain Heart) is already legendary among young players coming up through the bluegrass ranks for his unbelievable speed and clarity. As usual, in this CD he never overdoes it, though. Ron Stewart is, in my opinion, one of the best banjo players in the business. Amazingly, he is equally at home on the fiddle. He has toured with J.D. Crowe & the New South, among others, and has been featured on many recordings. Justin Moses is a relative newcomer, but he put out some great music with Blue Moon Rising and does a great job here playing dobro and fiddle.
I've noticed some objection to the more modern sound on some of the tracks, but this was not a problem for me. Songs like "Whose Shoulder Will You Cry On" couldn't be more classic bluegrass. "Wheels", the title cut, has a smooth feel. "The One You Lean On" is a slow, modern-tinged song with beautiful words.
This CD is worth buying!
Great Followup November 1, 2008
Waited all year for this album. Great followup to Dan's first album. Not one dork song here. A must-have for your bluegrass collection. A++++++
