...It's all quality twang

Review of Rocking Horse to Mars from The Bulletin:
Reviewer: JEFF APTER

As frontman of The Wheel, Australian Kim Cheshire peddled big-hatted country but delivered it with a kind of knowing cool - folks might talk about urban and western, but The Wheel were the real deal. For his solo debut, he's hooked up with quality players and writers, including The Flood's Kevin Bennett, who co-writes seven tracks, and golden girl Kasey Chambers, who coos her way through the sultry Ship of Fools.

It's all quality twang, veering between the swinging rockabilly of That's Right and the bluesy rebellion of All it Took. Cheshire can wrap himself up inside a story, too, as he laments lost love and broken-down dreams like a battle-scarred vet
