Too Slim And The Taildraggers - Brace Yourself (2022) CD-Rip

Brace Yourself, the new live album from blues rockers Too Slim and the Taildraggers, is a blistering, high energy live set. Recorded at Ohme Gardens in Wenatchee WA, BRACE YOURSELF shows the band’s true power and versatility as they incorporate many influences into their all-original compositions: Songs like “Mississippi Moon”, “Fortune Teller”, “Cowboy Boots” 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!
