CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description The 11 songs that appear on Free Your Mind, the 10th studio album from Seattle-based Too Slim and the Taildraggers, are the result of a touring hiatus in December 2007 and January 2008. 'It was the first time I actually took time off specifically to write songs,' remembers band leader Tim Langford (AKA Too Slim), 'and I'm very pleased with the results.' The songs on Free Your Mind are a slice of American Roots music, with Blues, Americana and Rock influences. Tim Langford worked again with producer Todd Smallwood on the new album. Smallwood also co-produced the band's last CD, The Fortune Teller, which charted as high as #9 on the Billboard magazine Top Blues Album sales chart in 2007 and 2008. The Fortune Teller was also nominated for Best Contemporary Blues Album"" at the 2008 Blues Blast Music Awards in Chicago. This award-winning band has been voted Best Regional Act 11 times by the Cascade Blues Association. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsToo Slim Rocks Again Skyy Dobro | South of Chicago | 03/24/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Too Slim and the Taildraggers Free Your Mind Underworld Records By James "Skyy Dobro" Walker 11 songs; Time 52:01; Library Quality Style: American Roots Music Langford's genius is setting lyrics to music led by his legendary guitar work. Across Langford's career, imaginative guitar playing and distinctive tones on electric guitar, slide, and acoustic stake his claim as a master guitarist currently with rising recognition. "Free Your Mind" is Too Slim and the Taildraggers' 10th studio album since 1988. Its eleven original songs are a slice of American roots music, with influences from Blues, Americana and Rock. By 2003's "Tales of Sin and Redemption," Too Slim and his changing rhythm section, The Taildraggers, have truly created an eclectic style that has become a genre all its own allowing them to easily cross-over and appeal to audiences of various musical tastes. For the fist time ever on a Too Slim album, a female singer did lead vocals: Lauren Evans sang the last cut, a personal "prayer of sorts," titled "The Light." The CD's first track, "When You Love Somebody," launches off the pad by marrying the heartland rock of John Cougar Mellencamp with the southern rock influences of Lynyrd Skynyrd for a kick-butt opening. There may be a time to keep you mouth shut, but concerning "Free Your Mind," this is not the time. Say it loudly, say it proudly, Too Slim and the Taildraggers rock! " Free your mind is the best! Esther Davis | Seattle, WA. | 04/05/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have heard TOO Slim before and this is really a GREAT CD! The lyrics are so moving and could easily be adapted to movies! This is a great collector piece for anyone wanting Rock, Blues, etc. as it incorporates all things." BUY THIS CD NOW! N. Meyers | 04/05/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Good old fashioned american rock & roll is hard to find these days. Look no further, this is the real thing. Tim's story-telling song writing and killer guitar work will restore your faith in rock & roll."
