All High Points: The Flatlanders

The Flatlanders by Steve Gullick
MONDAY: The Flatlanders might not work quickly — four albums in 30 years — but they do work smart. Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely and Butch Hancock combine country-music harmonies, folk's social consciousness and the twangy power of roots rock, and the Texas trio brought their songwriting talents together again for 2009's "Hills and Valleys." It's their first CD in five years, but like everything The Flatlanders do, it was worth the wait.

After the jump: Check out some live clips of The Flatlanders.
