This year has seen legendary US singer-songwriter Cass McCombs release his most encompassing statement to date with critically acclaimed double album Big Wheel and Others. Following the breezy ‘There Can Be Only One’ and the late Karen Black-featuring ‘Brighter!’, comes new, half-title track single ‘Big Wheel’. A rollicking album opener of muscular country rock that confronts questions of masculinity and Western mythology with Cass’s irreverent insight and with, it’s as a compelling opening statement for an endlessly rich album characterized by a loving correspondence with Americana songwriting traditions, the great outdoors and life on the road.
