The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The latest music interview in UK newspaper The Independent is with The Be Good Tanyas, who I’ve rhapsodized about here in the past. They were absolutely wonderful when we saw them in Asbury Park this past spring. And you just can’t fault their timing, releasing their debut just as the old-timey music that’s such an influence in what they do getting such a high profile. This past weekend, Laura and I were listening to a couple of singles the band released in the UK that I ordered from Rough Trade. One of them includes the semi-infamous live performance on the BBC of "Light Enough to Travel", a song that contains a naughty word and that allegedly caused the host of the show they were on to do a double take at the thought of it going out over the UK airwaves. Whoops! Anyway, if you’re familiar with them, there’s nothing really new in the article, but they’re a great band and it’s great to see them get press.
