Coming Home with The Flatlanders
ResumeTheir first album, recorded in Nashville in 1972, didn't go far. The band broke up, but the three stayed tight throughout their soaring solo careers. The tapes of that '72 session got around, finally making it onto an album as "More Legend than a Band" in 1990.
Thirty years and another release later, The Flatlanders are together again. Now, they're out with "Wheels of Fortune," forging together blues, folk, and Western swing that carry on the legacy of the lonely troubadours of the past. From the sound of it, they're enjoying each other's company again.
Guests:
The Flatlanders: Joe Ely, Butch Hancock and Jimmie Dale Gilmore.
