- Another Great Release From Tyminski
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!

- Disappointing
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.
Rating: - Dan Tyminski "Wheels" Not to Miss
Twelve 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 collaboration creates a tight and precise bluegrass sound with virtuoso music and highly emotional narratives. A wonderful gift for people of any age, a touching contribution to bluegrass history and a significant musical accomplishment. A must have for fans. Bravo to these wonderful musicians!
Rating: - Excellent CD, excellent musicians
Dan Tyminski has gathered a great group of musicians for this CD. 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 play
With 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 cd is for you.
If you love music played at its very best, then this cd is for you.
