TREASURE OF LOVE
The Flatlanders
Thirty Tigers/Cooking Vinyl
Recognised as somewhat of an edgy country supergroup, The Flatlanders consists of Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, the trio’s first album in over 10 years. Gilmore’s vocals are unmistakable on ‘Long Time Gone’, a song made famous by The Everly Brothers. They turn their attention to Bob Dylan’s ‘She Belongs To Me’, giving it the country treatment, and turn Leon Russell’s ‘She Smiles Like A River’ into a twang fest. The rock it up on ‘Sittin’ On Top Of The World’, a country blues track that has its roots back in the 1930s. A true country album.
