There is nothing to dislike on this record
Positive reviews continue to flow in for our newest CD, Most Folk Heroes Started Out As Criminals. The latest comes from Andy Riggs at Americana-UK.
Tangled Up In The Bluegrass Weed Of The Folk Criminals
Over the Xmas break I was given the film ‘The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford’ (a great film in my opinion and I can’t stand Brad Pitt usually). I mention this because Tangleweed have made a record that could have been a soundtrack for that film.
This is country music from a simpler time, with banjos and fiddles taking centre stage. The ‘Weed’ are a five piece band with Billy Oh taking vocals and fiddle, Kenneth Rainey (mandolin & vocals), Paul Wargaski (bass), T R Fisher (banjo, vocals) & Scott Judd (guitar, vocals). Taking traditional songs and their own songs written by the entire band, there is nothing to dislike on this record.
The song titles show that the lads are entrenched in their roots: ‘Logjam’, ‘Pick Poor Robin Clean’, ‘Join The British Army – The Dubliners’, and ‘Mississippi Trashboat’ – you can see what territory we are in here. Anyone with Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs in their collection will enjoy this record.
