WHEELS

Well, as I set here in the drenching rains of Tropical Storm Hanna, unable to go to the Richmond NASCAR race until tomorrow, I have finally got a spare moment to download (legally) WHEELS, Dan Tyminski's latest project. Wow, the only thing that can be said is if you are a Bluegrass fan, buy this album! There is not one track filler on this entire album. Every song come with Dan's signature style, great vocals, great music, great story lines, especially "How Long is this Train", I haven't been able to listen without tearing up, yet. One thing I have always noticed in Bluegrass was how down to earth all the pickers are, especially Dan. I look forward to next Month when his band will be at the Richmond Folk Festival, because I will definitely be there. Maybe, one day when my dobro playing improves, I'll be able to run away from home and join his band, well maybe at least take him out for a round of golf.
