Шаблон:Infobox album Big Shot in the Dark is the fourth album by the American band Timbuk 3, released in 1991.[1][2] "Mudflap Girl" was released as a single.[3]

Production

Big Shot in the Dark was Timbuk 3's first album as a four-piece band. Courtney Audain played bass and steel drums, and Wally Ingram served as the drummer/percussionist.[4] "The Border Crossing" was inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall.[5] Evan Johns played guitar on "Mudflap Girl".[6]

Critical reception

Шаблон:Album ratings The Chicago Tribune called Timbuk 3 "a distinctly American band both in its spare, rootsy rock sound and its thematic obsession with the American dream gone awry."[7] The Calgary Herald deemed the album "Timbuk 3 at its twangy, idiosyncratic best."[8]

Kenneth Bays of AllMusic wrote: "On their fourth album, Timbuk 3 officially became a foursome ... there's a newfound sense of instrumental adventurousness all around. ('Шаблон:'49 Plymouth' employs a lute, while an instrumental version of 'Sunshine' is played on steel drums)... Big Shot in the Dark has a bluesy, droning quality throughout, a vibe that would be amplified further on Timbuk 3's 1994 EP Looks Like Dark to Me."
