Timbuk 3 big shot in the dark


Big Shot in the Dark is the fourth album from Timbuk 3, and their debut as a four-piece band. It was the first major release for Trinidad-Tobago native Courtney Audain who played bass and added steel drums to the group's instrumentation, and for drummer/percussionist Wally Ingram who later went on to record and tour with major artists Tracy Chapman, Sheryl Crow, and Bonnie Raitt. Timbuk3's previous three albums were recorded by the husband and wife team of Pat MacDonald and Barbara K. MacDonald alone.

Critical reception

Kenneth Bays of Allmusic says: "On their fourth album, Timbuk 3 officially became a foursome... there's a newfound sense of instrumental adventurousness all around. ("'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."
