Dan Tyminski, the bluegrass composer, vocalist, instrumentalist and long-time member of the Alison Krauss and Union Station band has gone solo with a new self-named band which recently released a new album entitled Wheels.

Dan Tyminski is probably best known for his updated version of the song “Man of Constant Sorrow,” (video below) which was featured in the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? and won the 2001 CMA award for best single as well as a Grammy Award for best Country Collaboration with Vocals.

From his official website:

With Union Station on hiatus for most of 2008, Tyminski has formed a new incarnation of the Dan Tyminski Band, with whom he is currently recording a new album and preparing a national tour of festivals, arts centers, and listening rooms. This new edition includes longtime Union Station associate Barry Bales (bass), former Union Station and Mountain Heart member Adam Steffey (mandolin), sideman extraordinaire Ron Stewart (banjo, fiddle), and newcomer Justin Moses (fiddle, dobro).

The much anticipated new album Wheels was issued by Rounder Records on June 17, 2008. With Tyminski at the helm of the amazing Dan Tyminski Band, and guest appearances by Ron Block, Cheryl and Sharon White, and Vince Gill, it’s an album that I feel was well worth the wait!

Below is a video of Dan Tyminski performing “I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow” at the Crossroads Festival in 2007. And here’s the link to the CMT interview.
