    Pros: The entire album

    Cons: None

    After the first two albums, I was so excited to see another album from the Wheelies. I remember listening to it thinking, "Is that it?". I kept it in my regular shuffle and after a while (Over a year!) wondering how I ever got by without li...stening to it. From incredibly classy ballads like "It Ain't Nothing" and "One Big Drop Of Water" to the incredible remake of Dr. John's "Right Place, Wrong Time", to the very amazing "Dragon Park", this has by far become my favorite Wheelies album. Don't get me wrong, the previous two albums are also amazing and in my top rotation even after thirteen plus years. If you don't have every one of the Screaming Cheetah Wheelies albums in your collection, you are missing out on one of the classiest southern rock/blues bands ever. Read more Less

    the first song, boogie king is a strong song that makes you want to get up and dance, and the rock keeps coming and is settled a bit by It Aint Nothin and One Big Drop, blusy Dragon Park, finishing strong again with Dandy Lion, and a ballad Grace, g...ood consistent rock, heavier than the first 2 cd's with a couple light surprises, see this band if you get the chance Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Big Wheel

  • All Music Guide

    Sounding like a modern-day answer to Lynyrd Skynyrd or a funkier Allman Brothers, Tennessee's Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies' third album finds them exploring new lyrical themes and new musical turf. Produced by Paul Ebersold, who masterminded their debut disc, the band adds swirling keyboard work from labelmates Sonia Dada's Chris Cameron, even utilizing steel guitar on a couple of tracks. As always, the loud'n'proud shouting vocals of singer Mike Farris is the centerpiece on tunes like"Dragon Park," "Boogie King," "Groove Me," "It Ain't Nothing" and "Halcyon Days." On a lighter musical note, the album closer "Grace (Write Me)" and the largely autobiographical "Dandy Lion" are the lyrical high points of this interesting record. A rousing, funky cover of Dr. John's "Right Place, Wrong Time" is just the icing on the cake to a record that stylistically falls somewhere between the groups' two preceding albums, but one that simultaneously breaks new ground as well.

Biography

The Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies

Like Collective Soul and Cry of Love, the Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies were a classic hard rock band that arrived at the height of grunge and alternative. Collective Soul's hooky songwriting meant that they were able to fight to the top of the charts. The Wheelies fared better than Cry of Love, who sank without a trace after one hit, simply because they survived to make a... Read more
