We’ve got a page up on mySpace.com, with a couple of streaming songs from Just a Spoonful. If you do the mySpace thing, stop by and check it out. As in the non-virtual world, we need friends.

Our guitarist Scott will be playing with his psych-rock band Magnetosphere in their first public performance in almost 18 months tonight. They’ll be headlining at the Kinetic Playground, joined by Cold Dead Hands and Unfortunaut.

I just ran across another nice review of our record, this time from Pete Smith in the October 21st edition of The Advertiser:

You know I sometimes see a word or name and take an instant liking to it. Most recently it was the name Tangleweed. I saw it on the sleeve of a CD and was instantly warmed to it. The music on that disc warmed me even more for this five piece from Chicago play some of the purest bluegrass and most authentic traditional country I have heard in some time. “Just A Spoonful: And Other Folksongs Of Rural Cook County” (Squatney) contains wonderful instrumentals such as “C-Jam Blues”, “Blackberry Blossom” and “Old Joe Clark” and great vocal performances of “Lay Me A Pallet On The Floor”, “Katy Kline”, “Ragged But Right” and “Orange Blossom Special”.

Joe Ross wrote a nice review of our debut CD for the website jigtime.com. Joe liked the rough edges and energy of the CD, as do we.

Meanwhile, work on the second record is proceeding nicely. Response to the early rough mixes has been overwhelmingly positive. We’re going to try to get back to King Size for another session with Mike Hagler soon.
