4 out of 5 stars Significant increase in sperm motility, confirmed!!.......2004-04-29

That title has absolutely nothing to do with this CD, or does it?! You'll have to get your own copy and find out for yourself!
You really need to see these characters live to get it, but failing that, you can by all the Tanglefoot CD's and crank up the stereo just shy of blowing your speakers, close your eyes and pretend. Whatever. What amazes me about these gents is their popularity in the US. What gives? They sing these fastastic Canadian songs, and the Yanks just seem to eat them up?

Well, who cares really. The stories these songs tell may, on the surface, be specific to certain regions and/or ethno-cultural backgrounds, but they have a universal appeal and speak to the human conditon as a whole which makes them accessable and enjoyable by all who have the great good fortune to hear them.
My favourites on this CD are: One more night; Seven aside (...); Jenny Wren; Minnie's Lullaby; Angel of Longpoint. They give a fantastic live show and love coming out between sets and after to meet and greet, autograph stuff, etc. Though I haven't goy MY autograph, yet, TY!!(What cheek!)

5 out of 5 stars Tangled up in Good Music.......2001-06-02

An admirer of good folk music and a fan of the British Folk Rock Band 'Fairport Convention' I took a chance with a concert by a band I had never heard of during their [...] UK tour. They came on, they looked great and what's more, they delivered a flawless set of high energy music, beautifully played and powerfully performed, and that to an audience of only thirty or so paying punters! I was completely hooked after the first two songs, the second one being the glorious 'One More Night'. But all their songs turned out to be quality: intelligent words, well-crafted arrangements, catchy choruses and divine five-part harmonies. I bought a copy of 'Full-Throated Abandon' at the interval and enjoyed the second part of the set even more than the first. Don't be put off by the daft title and the uninspiring artwork of that CD, it is a rare gem of a record and has not been out of my CD player since purchase. [....]

5 out of 5 stars Full Throated Abandon.......2001-04-24

Tanglefoot is absolutely a first-rate band. We first heard them in Minnesota in the fall of 1999, and immediately purchased Full Throated Abandon."Finally," we said, "Somebody is writing OUR MUSIC." And besides the best storytelling in the business, they deliver their songs with high energy, beautifully-arranged vocals, and superb instrumentals. Tanglefoot is the complete package! I highly recommend this CD, and urge you to go see Tanglefoot live at your first opportunity. You'll fall in love!

5 out of 5 stars My new favorite group!.......2000-06-21

The best Canadian folk musicians since Stan Roger (in my opinion), this group has an intensity that is very addictive. I heard them for the first time live last night, and now intend to get all their recordings that I can. Style is reminiscent of Schooner Fare, and their songs deal with some of the same topics.

5 out of 5 stars Tanglefoot - Just Darn Good Music.......2000-06-09

This group has renewed my faith that good music can still be written and performed. I saw them live before buying the CD and was totally overwhelmed by their sound and performance. If they are playing in your area, run don't walk to see them, then prepare yourself for an outstanding evening of entertainment.
