Music reviews of Wheels of Fortune
Music Review: You've got to be a Flatlanders fan. . ..
Rating: 4 Stars
Like I mentioned, you gotta be a Flatlander fan or you're not going to care much for the group. They're a mix of Country, Rock-a-billy, Blue grass, and maybe a hit of easy rock. Sometimes the songs just aren't to your taste but you can always be assured that the musicians are on top of the melody and their instruments. You don't have to be a fan of the played carpenters saw, but it never overwhelms, but as far as the dobro, fiddle, guitar and other instruments, they are always very good. On any album, 75 per cent of the songs, you'll listen to and enjoy which is a pretty good average for any album. If you're lucky, you might find their album in the record shops, but your best bet for buying one is on Amazon. As I previously mentioned, you gotta be a Flatlander fan, but even if you're not, after a couple of listens, your going to find something you like about them.
Description of Wheels of Fortune
While the Flatlanders' previous Now Again was more of a collaborative revelation--from the shared writing credits to the vocal harmonies--here the West Texas trio of Joe Ely, Butch Hancock, and Jimmie Dale Gilmore engage in a song swap. Each of the three puts his stamp on material from the others. Among the highlights, Ely brings his bluesiest edge to Gilmore's "Midnight Train" and a buoyant Tex-Mex lilt to another Gilmore tune, "Go to Sleep Alone." Gilmore returns the favor by applying his trademark warble to Ely's propulsive "Back to My Old Molehill" and Hancock's "Wishin' for You." For his part, Hancock renews Ely's early "Indian Cowboy" ballad and Gilmore's "Deep Eddy Blues." Throughout their solo careers, these veteran troubadours have recorded material by his fellow Flatlanders and their reunion reinforces that kinship. There may be fewer surprises this time through, but the generous selection of material brings out the best in all three. --Don McLeeseGeneral CDs
