You can almost taste the west Texas plains such is the magic woven by these three poetic sons of Lubbock.The first track Homeland Refugee summons the ghost of Woody Guthrie and is a sort of Pastures of Plenty in reverse a moving almost apocalyptic vision of a burning California stripped bare by the greed of bankers and drought.Borderless Love is a jaunty tex-mex number showing up the absurdity of the great Texas wall supposedly designed to save America from mass immigration.
This is almost entirely an acoustic effort and there's lots of Joel Guzman's spritely accordion florishes and the welcome return of Steve Wesson's musical saw.
There are no fillers on this cd and most of the songs are co-writes one of the exceptions is Woody Guthries Sowing on the Mountain given a great Flatlanders makeover and Colin Gilmore's bouncy The Way we are.
It's great to see guys in their sixties producing music as vibrant relevant and exciting as this it really is a great record and easily their best since their 1972 classic.
Americana at its purest undiluted best.

I have just received this CD and played it 3 times so far.
It is BRILLIANT. I love the voice of Jimmy Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock and Joe Ely. They blend so well together. Also the backing musicians are brilliant with Rob Gjersoe on Guitar and Rafael Gayol on drums are Just brilliant. This new Cd is long awaited for and much appreciated. It has been 5 years since the Flatlanders put out a CD. Brilliant five star material.Hills and Valleys

Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock are all classy singer-songwriters in their own right, but when they pool their resources as The Flatlanders, they go supernova. This is an unassuming but wholeheartedly brilliant collection of first-rate songs in a contemporary Country Rock style. There's no standout tracks, because they are all of a commensurately high standard, and as Bob Dylan once said, "there's nothing, nothing to turn off!"

I'm sorry this is a poor album. "Borderless Love" is clumsy, "No Way I'll Never Need You" is maudlin. The Woody cover "Sowing on the Mountain" is as good as it gets. Read more
