Beneath My Wheels is Kevin Welch's fourth solo album. This was Welch's second album for Dead Reckoning Records, which he co-founded in 1994 with fellow musicians Kieran Kane, Mike Henderson, Tammy Rogers, and Harry Stinson.
Heather Phares of AllMusic writes, "Kevin Welch's fourth album, Beneath My Wheels features more of the expansive songwriting for which he has become known in alt country and folk circles."
Brian Baker of Country Standard Time writes, "Most amazing is the sonic consistency of the disc, recorded over a long stretch of time and in a number of locales with different sets of musicians."[1]
Geoffrey Hines of The Washington Post begins his review with, "Kevin Welch is such a great singer that even his weaker songs sound good."[2]
CD Shakedown begins a review of the album with, "After a four-year absence from the recording studio, singer Kevin Welch returns with the beautiful and somber, Beneath My Wheels."[3]
No Depression concludes their review with, "Welch has finally produced the masterpiece he’s long had in him. Beneath My Wheels is full of uncommon musical variety and starkly beautiful images that resonate long after the disc has finished playing."[4]
