4.0 out of 5 stars
The whole is not greater than the sum of the parts,
By
This review is from: Wheels of Fortune (Audio CD)
I love Butch Hancock, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and Joe Ely. Having said that, the whole is not greater than the sum of the parts - these Flatlanders projects aren't quite as good as solo projects by each of the artists alone. Don't get me wrong, this latest project is good. It's probably a little better than their "comeback" CD, "Now Again," which was also pretty good. It's certainly a lot better than most of the music out there. If you like these three artists, go ahead and get this CD, you'll more than likely enjoy it. You can tell that the three enjoy playing together, and the result is fun to listen to. On the other hand, neither of the Flatlanders' reunion albums are nearly as good as Joe Ely's most recent solo album, "Streets of Sin," or Jimmie Dale Gilmore's "One Endless Night, or Butch Hancock's "You Coulda Walked Around the World," each of which is simply brilliant.

Texas as Savior,
By
This review is from: Wheels of Fortune (Audio CD)
Due to the anemic state of American popular music, I long ago stopped listening to the radio. A chance read of a People review of this album, of all things, led me to purchase. Which led me to see them at a small local venue. I now have all of the Flatlanders albums (ok, it's only three,) and all of Jimmie Dale Gilmore's, and I wonder, why are these people not fabulously famous? Texas has given us great gifts, musically speaking, and the Flatlanders are not the only ones. But they are the ones who led me to explore the rest of what Texas has to offer, and I say to you, the people's music is alive and well and kicking so go out and find it! It's just not always on your local radio...

In some ways their best yet,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wheels of Fortune (Audio CD)
The band that in one album set the bar for their genre is back with a second folloup to their seminal MORE A LEGEND THAN A BAND. With the intelligent thoughtful lyrics and original stylings they're famous for, but with a lot more of the foot-stomping, head nodding, heel kicking power, this album delivers and does not disappoint.
