Too Slim & The Taildraggers Announce ‘Brace Yourself Live!’
Out August 5, 2022
on VizzTone Lebel Group
Brace Yourself, the new live album from Too Slim and the Taildraggers, is a blistering, high energy live set that captures the unique raw power this band exudes in a live performance setting. Recorded at Ohme Gardens in Wenatchee WA, Brace Yourself shows the band’s true force and versatility as they incorporate their many influences into their all-original compositions.
The first single, “Cowboy Boot”, dropping July 8, 2022, shows Too Slim and the Taildraggers at their Blues-Rocking best, giving a nod to Classic Rock influences as Slim sings of being “way past thrity.. with nothin’ to show for my ramblin’ life but a bunch of grey hairs and an achin’ liver, and a million promises I couldn’t deliver” as the stash of money he keeps in his cowboy boot has finally run out.
Listen to “Cowboy Boot”
Songs like “Mississippi Moon”, “Fortune Teller”, “Cowboy Boot” and “Devil in a Doublewide” display a mix of Classic Rock, Blues Rock and Americana influences. “Blood Moon” and “Twisted Rail” conjure up images of Robin Trower and Jimi Hendrix. “When Whiskey Was My Friend” could easily have been a track on a ZZ Top album circa 1976. “Letter” and “Good Guys Win” are modern nods to Chuck Berry with a hint of Psychobilly. “Free Your Mind” has a feel of early electric Bob Dylan and “My Body” and “Givers and Takers” have an ethereal quality of late 60’s rock. All the songs also have an obvious tip of the hat to early electric Blues and Blues Rock. Brace yourself for a hell of a ride!!!!!
Onstage, Tim “Too Slim” Langford leaps into action, backed up by Zach Kasik on bass and Jeff “Shakey” Fowlkes on the drums. Needless to say, the amped-up festival audience goes wild! According to Tim, playing for a huge crowd is the “F’ing best feeling ever!! Very exhilarating! Personally, I’m at my best when you get the feeling back from the crowd.”
