Tim
"Too Slim" Langford, with his band the Taildraggers, have created an
eclectic style of roots-rock, Americana, and blues, that has become a genre all
its own. Too Slim's ever-evolving musical direction cannot be classified into
any box or category. The eclectic nature of the band allows Too Slim and the
Taildraggers to appeal to audiences of various musical tastes.
Free
Your Mind,
the band's recent CD, debuted on the Billboard Top Blues Album Chart at #12
last spring and climbed to #5.
It has been getting rave reviews, and as one Chicago
reviewer put it:
"A
delightful and glorious throwback to when music was in clubs and you could hang
out with the act after the show. A raucous roadhouse brew of Americana that was
made to facilitate beer and hooking up, let's hope the kids can bring us back
an America that wasn't so PC that you couldn't smoke and drink and have a good
time. This CD feels like the gateway drug to such a remembrance." - Chris
Spector
"Tim
"Too Slim" Langford has an uncanny knack for writing songs that not
only deal with his own personal experiences, but everyday life and its
accompanying craziness as well. And that is the underlying theme of his latest
CD, Free Your Mind.
Tim wrote all eleven cuts on this set, and handles the guitar and vocal duties.
They present good mix of blues, Americana, and roots-rock, all driven by Slim's
wailing guitar and smoky vocals.
"Too
Slim and the Taildraggers certainly bring a "personal touch" to their
brand of blues that Everyman can relate to. "Free Your Mind" is quite
an enjoyable listen! Highly recommended!" - Nashville music writer Don
Crow
