Til The Wheels Fall Off is the fourth album by singer / songerwriter Amy Rigby. Before she started making solo records she was with the groups Last Roundup and The Shams. Her first solo album was entitled Diary Of A Mod Housewife (1996) and is a good example of what her songs are usually about: life as a single mother or woman over thirty (now forty), full of humor and with an at least cynical
… outlook. to life. Also on Til The Wheels Fall Off Rigby, with a voice that sometimes reminds a bit of Marianne Faithfull, again deals with these subjects in her own humorous way, a title like Are We Ever Gonna Have Sex Again? speaks volumes in this regard. She is accompanied by several Nashville musicians such as Ken Coomer (Wilco), Duane Jarvis (Lucinda Williams) and Rick Plant (Buddy & Julie Miller). Amy Rigby transcends the sometimes somewhat sluggish roots genre and moves more towards alternative pop, such as in the Believe In You with a beautiful 'backwards guitar'. Til The Wheels Fall Of is not only suitable for fans of, for example, Lucinda Williams or Aimee Mann, but also for anyone who likes pop songs that actually have something to do with something.
