Genre: Blues, Roots-rock

Related Artists: Drive By Truckers, North Mississippi Allstars, James McMurtry, Tony Joe White

Too Slim and the Taildraggers will be debuting songs from their new release scheduled for March 17th, 2009 entitled "Free Your Mind". Tim Too Slim Langford, with his band the Taildraggers, have created an eclectic style of Roots-Rock, Americana, and Blues, that has become a genre all its own. Too Slims ever evolving musical direction cannot be classified into any box or category.

The eclectic nature of the band allows Too Slim and the Taildraggers to easily cross-over and appeal to audiences of various musical tastes. Although generally lumped into the blues-rock arena, Too Slim and the Taildraggers fall into whatever category a combination of Tom Petty, Creedence and ZZ Top would create. Perhaps swampy Americana is closer to the trio's sound. Too Slim's been at it for quite a while yielding a dozen or so releases. But that hard work has paid off, big time. Langford writes melodies and especially lyrics that show him to be an under the radar talent who has gone unnoticed for too long.

Too Slim and the Taildraggers latest CD The Fortune Teller has charted as high as #9 on the Billboard Top Blues Album chart in 2007 and 2008. The Fortune Teller was also nominated for Best Contemporary Blues Album in the 2008 Blues Blast Music Awards in Chicago IL. This award winning band has been voted the Best Regional act, 12 times by the Cascade Blues Association.
