WHAT MORE IS THERE TO SAY?.


Hooked like a fish being pulled out of the water
The band is tight, the vocals are unique, and the arrangements to some old songs are brilliant. Since I bought this CD by chance a few months ago, it's gotten more play time at my home than I would have ever known. I haven't been quite as taken with their other recordings but this one is well worth listening to. The songs don't grow on you, you'll just love them during your first listening.


One great song
I bought the whole album for one song - prettiest birds - It is a wonderful song and my kiddos know it by heart - the rest of the CD is really good, just a bit slow for my taste - But everyone should have this song on there iPod - it makes ya smile.


Nobody like 'em and
Haunting blues/folk/bluegrass hell I don't know what it is. probably never will be. The word "genius" comes to mind.


Too good to miss
The lush, lilting vocals, dead-on harmonies, and the perfectly balanced acoustic instrumentation are powerful, beautiful and real - refreshing in an age of slick, overwrought production. This album was my most amazing find from last year: hearing it got me to buy all their albums (which didn't disappoint). I read somewhere that much lurks below the pleasing, old-time melodies and rhythms, and a few listens confirmed this.

They have some beautiful original songs, and in each of their covers, whether a traditional song or one penned by Jolie Holland or Townes Van Zandt, they offer a fresh, unique interpretation.

The Tanyas are too good to miss. Start with this album.
