 THE BE GOOD TANYAS
The Be Good Tanyas story starts in early-to-mid ‘90s in the Kootenay Mountains outside of British Columbia, where caravans of tree planters toil each year to replenish the rich Canadian forests that suffer abuse by the lumber industry.
Holland introduced them to the song, “Be Good Tanya,” written by her friend Obo Martin, and thus the band name was christened.
Because they were producing the album themselves, the Tanyas allowed themselves the luxury of experimenting and making sure that the final version of each song met their expectations.

According to their website, the Be Goods, as I am told they are affectionately called in Canada, recorded this album while temporarily inhabiting a rustic cabin in the woods surrounding Vancouver, BC.
To further explain, the the Be Goods have adopted, borrowed and written songs reminiscent of traditional deep Southern (including Appalachian) music and ingeniously interwove this style with a feminist and/ or liberatory flair.
In addition to covering "Cold, Rain and Snow," the Be Goods also do a lovely, raw version of "Oh Susanna!"
