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.

Rating:  - Great Followup
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++++++
Rating: - 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, ... Read More
Rating:  - 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 ... Read More
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.
