Widely regarded as one of the most outstanding underground American songwriters of our time, the singular and enigmatic Cass McCombs marks his decade-long career with the release of Big Wheel and Others, out next week on Domino Records. As described byNPRMusic, it's "the masterpiece that his cult of fans have been swearing he'd make one of these days."

Comprised of 22 songs, Big Wheel and Others is a bundle, a bindle, a hay bale, and an oil barrel of songs. Some of the genres that are to be found on this album are: road songs, rock songs, folk songs, blues songs, country songs, rhythm and blues songs, skronk non-songs, cinema songs, cult songs, poem songs, jams, and ballads - to use however you wish. It's brimming with McCombs' gift for evocative storytelling, discerning introspection, and heartrending melody delivered through a haze of mystery and romance.

Cass (guitar, vocals) and his band - Dan Iead (guitar), Jon Shaw (bass), Dan Allaire (drums on the West Coast), Joe Russo (drums on the East Coast) -- will tour North America in support of this new album throughout November and December.
