Who They Are: Old-time pickers whose lively and infectious numbers will put vitality into your skip

What They Do: Supple and soulful old-time dance music

Little Known Facts: This is their third album. Find them busking for hours in Seattle's Pike Place Street Market or performing at many of the regional folk festivals in the west.

The Songs: Sixteen traditional tunes except "Ida Mae" penned by Charlie Beck. It appears that they like John Hartford and probably picked up "Squirrel Hunter" and "Wild Hog in the Red Brush" from Hartford's Rounder album of that same name.

The Musicians: A traditional 5-piece string band lineup. Joe Fulton's fiddle and Charlie Beck's frailing banjo drive the band, and Paul McGowan's mandolin, Rob Adesso's guitar, and John Hurd's bass fall right into the rootsy groove.

Of Special Note: Expressive vocal harmonies in the ¾-time "Henry Lee." Nice personalized versions of such warhorses "Cumberland Gap" and "Mississippi Sawyer" and "Sally Ann." The crowning moment is "Squirrel Hunter" that radiates the raw energy and saucy attitude of youth.

Any Downside: Include liner notes, lyrics, photos in future albums. Provide vocal credits and info on the tunes. Find a couple real cool crooked tunes for your next album.

Bottomline: An affable set of traditional tunes that will elevate The Tallboys to new heights

Their Bumper Sticker Might Say: Snappy and sturdy old-time
