    Big Wheel And Others is Cass McComb's best album because of the variety he has to each and every song on the album. There are no bad songs on here, basically. But the one and only problem is the length of the album, a little too long in fact for a folk/country album, but separate the tracks out and you have some truly exemplary stuff.

    Gentle outlaw Cass McCombs luxuriates in sunlit California landscapes, weaving offbeat tales of carousing and yearning on Big Wheel and Others.

    Aside from the nine-minute rambling of “Everything Has to Be Just-so,” (coming at the end of the first disc, making it easy to skip), McCombs pulls off the rare feat of a double-disc that never runs short on inspiration or steam.

    Big Wheel just keeps rolling along, a moody, ambitious collection touching on travel, impermanence, the soul, manhood, statehood, and then some.
