3.0 out of 5 stars sentimental, January 16, 2007

Canadian folk band Tanglefoot has been performing for over twenty years. The much-loved group recently released their first studio album since 2002 with the October 2006 "Dance Like Flames.

Patrons of Tanglefoot's numerous tours will understand the group's reputation as powerful live group. The new album is perhaps milder than a live show as it combines folksy ballads, fast-paced drinking songs, and sentimental tunes of native pride. Tanglefoot is renowned for their vocal harmonies and the gospel tinged "Hard Work," and suggestive "Boot Soup," are fine examples of this, and "Empire and The Right," is completely a cappella.

Tanglefoot has long been established as a public radio staple and have made numerous appearances on both American and Canadian public stations. Listeners familiar with groups like the Woods Tea Company, Great Big Sea, or the Old Blind Dogs will greatly enjoy this album, and old friends of the band will appreciate the new additions of violin and violist. In short, if you're a fan of Garrison Keillor, you'll have a good time with this - otherwise you might look for something with a bit more kick.

I first heard Tanglefoot at Bowling green State University about 8 years ago. I purchased a couple of their albums full of lively tunes. They don't visit this area often, but when they do, I'm there! They were back in Bowling Green this summer playing outdoors for the Black Swamp Arts & Music Festival. Their folk tunes continue to please crowds. Their talent and personality truly come through on this CD.

Tanglefoot, a five person Canadian folk band, is one of our favorite groups. We've traveled all over NY State to see the Ontario based group. Dance Like Flames is a great album! My favorite, "Lunenburg Skies", is a gentle love song...my husband's favorite, "Empire and the Right (George)" is an historical tune with echoes of a present day ruler, coincidentally named George as well. Insightful, thoughtful folk music with superb musicality. A five star group and a five star album.
