Wheels of Fortune by The Flatlanders - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

WHEELS OF FORTUNE is the Flatlanders' second reunion album, following 2002's NOW AGAIN, and it's the sound of a band finally falling into their groove, more than 30 years after their initial split. NOW AGAIN had arguably been dominated by Jimmie Dale Gilmore's lyrics and vocals, but on WHEELS OF FORTUNE, Gilmore's cohorts Butch Hancock and Joe Ely are more assertive with their own material, offering tracks like the wry country stomp of "I'm Gonna Strangle You Shorty" and the country-rock strut of the opening "Baby Do You Love Me Still." Steve Wesson's musical saw, an integral part of the original Flatlanders sound, makes a most welcome return here, adding that hint of strangeness that's always been a key part of the Flatlanders' mystique.
