Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
On Blue Horse, 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, revelling in the interplay of their beautifully trilling voices. Blue Horse is deeply rooted but no 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 lilt redolent of Rickie Lee Jones 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
Album Description
U.S. reissue of the Canadian Folk trio's 2000 debut album. The Be Good Tanyas have achieved cult status since their inception in the late 90's. With classic albums Blue Horse, Chinatown and Hello Love, the three young women were met with ever growing critical and fan acclaim, garnering 4 star reviews in Rolling Stone and MOJO, and selling out concert halls across North America and Europe.

OK I'm Too Lazy To Write Reviews for both CDs,
By timwellman (Huntington, WV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Horse (Audio CD)
So, one review applies to both The Be Good Tanyas' cds. Incredible! If you like roots music, if you like beautiful darkly turned music by sweet, child-like voices, you'll love this band. There is nothing below a 5 here... though many of the original songs are better than the traditional covers... the cds, throughout, will leave you crying and smiling at the same time. Thanks to Clear Channel, you'll probably never hear them on the radio... but, this is what the Dixie Chicks wanted to be once before they copped the rich-bltch attitude... before the money and famous boyfriends. Buy both The Be Good Tanyas cds... if you thought you'd have to wait for heaven to hear angels, you're wrong... here they are. They have a great website too, http://www.begoodtanyas.com , with some free songs (mp3)... can't ask for more.

I am In Agreement,
By Neil Sellon (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Horse (Audio CD)
just wanted to agree with the people who have pointed this out as the excellent album it is. Perhaps one of the only things that I would like to point out is the superlative Chieftains style treatment of the old standard "Coo Coo". What should sound like old hat is fresh and new on this album. The Blue Horse gets top marks.
