    A classic rock record, in all senses. [Nov 2021, p.84]

    Howlin Rain have fashioned an album that eschews the harder rocking moves of predecessor The Alligator Bride for a mellower although no less impactful approach. [Oct 2021, p.74]

    The Dharma Wheel was designed to transport the listener away from the pitfalls of the current world via elongated tunes as Howlin’ Rain dramatically plugs in and pushes onward. They don’t always hit their intended mark but no one can accuse Miller and company of dreaming small as the band remains one of rock’s most inventive voyagers.

    The Dharma Wheel channels the Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Crazy Horse and more in its generous spirit. [Nov 2021, p.29]
