REVIEW:
"In a carefully crafted monotone, singer-songwriter Will Gillham's folkish daguerreotypes are rustic portraits of endless cornfields and open prairies; but all is not well in quaint Americana. Behind each pastoral scene there is an air of melancholy if not a downright evil undertaking. Murder ballads ('Rain Rain') and ghost stories (the excellent and intricate 'The Wonderful Four-Faced Man') accompany broken dreams ('The End of the Old Place') and dark introspection ('Rime'). THE BLUE WHEEL also benefits from Gillham's assemblage of first-class musicians...and sonically tight production from Gillham and Kevin Grove.... The album does not suffer the pretense of stalwart unpretentiousness like many a later-era folkie endeavor. No kumbaya's and no group hugs here.
