The Be Good Tanyas


I bought The Be Good Tanyas first album "Blue Horse" a while ago on the recommendation of friends. I liked it a lot, so I recently purchased their second album, "Chinatown". It just arrived. So far, so good, though I haven't heard the whole thing yet.

For those not familiar with their sound, they seem heavily influenced by what is now termed "American roots music". They are a little folky, a little bluesy. I'm not much of a folk music listener, but I go by Duke Ellington's maxim that "if it sounds good, it is good"...
