The Rainbow Wheel Of Death (CD)
Dougie Poole
Amoeba Review
Brooklyn country/rock singer Dougie Poole brings underground grit, a deep understanding of genre, and sardonic wit to his third solo album, The Rainbow Wheel of Death. Named after the spinning pinwheel that always foretells computer trouble, a sight Poole became extremely familiar with while working as a freelance computer programmer in the wake of the 2020 live music shutdown. It's also a metaphor for the stasis many of us feel as we grapple with reacquainting ourselves with society and facing the multitude of problems stacking up at our cultural doors. If that sounds like a downer of a concept, fear not. Poole brings warmth, tongue-in-cheek humor, and authenticity to the tracks. A must-hear for fans of throwback country and non-fans of the contemporary zeitgeist.
