Editorial Review: Album Description: One of the most recognized vocalists in bluegrass music and beyond is back with his long-awaited second solo album, Wheels. Dan Tyminski's prominence has steadily grown through his role as vocalist and multi-instrumentalist in Alison Krauss and Union Station and through his enduring version of "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" on the hit soundtrack to the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? Now with the release of Wheels, Tyminski delivers a superb project accentuated by the inimitable talent of his band - Barry Bales, bass; Justin Moses, fiddle and Dobro; Adam Steffey, mandolin; Ron Stewart, banjo and fiddle - along with special guests Vince Gill, Ron Block, and Cheryl and Sharon White. Combining a sophisticated, modern sound with Tyminski's hallmark, searing intensity, Wheels features a powerful set of songs dealing with conflict, transition, heartbreak, and the lessons of life - all delivered with timeless soul from one of the great voices of contemporary bluegrass. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - DisappointingIf 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. Rating:  - Dan Tyminski "Wheels" Not to MissTwelve songs with narratives ranging from couple feuds, to life in the country vibrate throughout Tyminski's second solo album. Two items were already heard on other Tyminkski editions, but the ten remaining are definitely worth the purchase - the gentle and expressive voice of Dan Tyminski, the banjo rythmns provided by friend Ron Stewart who also plays fiddle on this album and the familiar pulsing bass of co-artist Barry Bales from Union Station. Other fiddle, dobro and voices are added by Justin Moses who makes his entry into the fan universe of these bluegrass stars with finesse and significant personal talent. There are some amazing mandolin passages woven throughout the collection performed by Adam Steffey. The result of this exceptional ...

Bluegrass music fans will enjoy every song and appreciate the musical skills of Adam Steffey on mandolin, Barry Bales on bass, newcomer Justin Moses on mandolin and Ron Stewart's banjo playing is outstanding. The vocals are excellent. Favorite song for me on the CD is "The One You Lean On" written by Ron Block. Rating: - While Alison is away Dan Will playWith or without Alison Krauss Dan Tyminski is one of,if not the best bluegrass artists today, This cd is his best to date, not a bad track on it,in fact I would give each and every track 5 stars. The opening track "Wheels" gets you in the bluegrass mood and it never lets you down. Also included is the track "It All Comes Down To You", if you recall Dan sang this song on the "New Favorite" cd with Union Station and I think this version has a bettet feel to it. All in all a 5 star cd from a 5 star man (and band),not forgetting,Barry Bales,Adam Steffey,Ron Stewart and Justin Moses. Plus you get Ron Block on 2 tracks, now that is a bonus. If you are a Union Station fan this cd is for you. If you are a bluegrass fan this ...

It's a great mix of pure, rockin' bluegrass and melodic, acoustic folk-tinged country. If you like Ricky Skaggs and his band, Kentucky Thunder, you're gonna love this - the two are clearly kindred spirits. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Country Music Guide) |
