Additional Blue Horse Information
|
On their debut CD, three young Canadian songbirds (Frazey Ford, Samantha Parton, and Trish Klein) join the neo-trad movement that has given us such notable voices as Iris DeMent and Gillian Welch. But where Welch finds inspiration in the dark hollows and tragic tales of Appalachian music, the Be Good Tanyas seek out sweetness and light, reveling in the interplay of their beautifully trilling voices. Blue Horse is deeply rooted but is not an exercise in old-time purism; originals outnumber traditional songs, and the core accompaniment of guitar and banjo is often supplemented by bass and drums, creating a Rickie Lee Jones-esque lilt in "The Littlest Birds" and a reggae-tinged groove on the haunting old ballad "Rain and Snow." The band name may be a bit tough to get your lips around, but the music of this talented trio is a refreshing drink from a clear mountain stream. --Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers

What Customers Say About Blue Horse:

I've been listening to them for years and never get bored. They are good. Excellent harmony, banjo and guitar. A beautiful blend of voices intertwining in harmonious rapture. Check them out on You Tube if you want to preview.
MY DAUGHTER STOLE MINE SO I NEEDED ANOTHER. THIS IS A FAVORITE CD I WILL ALWAYS WANT TO HEAR. WHAT MORE IS THERE TO SAY.
The band is tight, the vocals are unique, and the arrangements to some old songs are brilliant. The songs don't grow on you, you'll just love them during your first listening. 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.
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
Haunting blues/folk/bluegrass hell I don't know what it is. probably never will be. The word "genius" comes to mind.
