The good folks at Bluegrass Unlimited had some nice things to say about our most recent record:

TANGLEWEED—WHERE YOU BEEN SO LONG? [May 2007 Issue]
Squatney Records 45001

Tangleweed is a five-person band from Chicago, Illinois, that performs a unique style of bluegrass that blends elements of rock, jazz, and country. One local media personality described the band as having “a bright new bluegrass sound.” This latest compact disc collection certainly lives up to those accolades with 14 selections that have been extracted from a myriad of sources ranging from Ola Belle Reed (”High On A Mountain”) to the Clancy Brothers (”Leaving Of Liverpool”) and the jazz classic “I’ve Found A New Baby.” The group is at their best on “Ginseng Blues,” a medley of “With A Bottle In My Hand” and “Farewell Blues” and their instrumental rendition of “Black-Eyed Susie.” With “Where You Been So Long?,” Tangleweed has created a musical magnum opus that is loaded with variety, excitement, and imagination. When it comes to contemporary bluegrass, Tangleweed certainly knows how to deliver in style.
