Bluegrass icon Dan Tyminski releases his second solo album today. 'Wheels' is the follow up to his critically-acclaimed 2000 release, 'Carry Me Across the Mountain.'

Tyminski has also recorded with an eclectic group of music superstars, including Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley, Rob Thomas, Reba McEntire and Joan Osborne, among others.

'Wheels' puts Tyminski at the helm of another all-star list of musicians. The album includes guest appearances by Ron Block, Cheryl and Sharon White and Vince Gill. You can listen to the entire album, track by track here.
