Album Notes
When short-lived early-1970s progressive-country supergroup the Flatlanders (which launched the careers of Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and Butch Hancock) regrouped for a 2002 reunion album, few could have predicted they'd keep working together long enough for a third (fourth overall) release, let alone that it would stand up to their lofty legend as well as it does. As ever, the rough-and-ready voices of Ely and Hancock are perfect foils for Gilmore's ethereal, tremulous tones, and perhaps most important of all, the songs they tackle are fully up to snuff. Hancock's Bob Dylan-goes-to-West-Texas lyricism comes together with Gilmore's Zen-cowboy vibe and Ely's hard-bitten outlaw-country attitude as if the '80s and '90s never happened.
Industry Reviews
[I]t feels utterly right....Mining poetry from the everyday, 'Free the Wind' and 'Love's Own Chains' offer homespun observations on affairs of the heart.
3.5 stars out of 5 -- [With] the wistful 'Homeland Refugee,' a Woody Guthrie-ish folk rock lament for the New Depression.
