 | | Tandy - named not after the electronics brand but a character in Americana novel Winesburg, Ohio- come from New York/Canada border, "where you can still be a Gordon Lightfoot fan in broad daylight", according to singerÐguitarist Mike Ferrio. |
 | | By S.L. New York five piece Tandy's second album balances alternative country's typically maudlin strains, as exhibited on Facing Winterand Hope You Had Fun,with the unashamed euphoria of Far From Homeand No Earthly Reason,bouzouki, bagpipes, accourdion and dobro clattering with an undeniable "live in the studio" verite. |
 | | Country singing sensation Kelly Willis who many in the know rate her amongst the greatest of her generation, adds vocals to a couple of tracks, including the addictively beguiling Shine.Elsewhere, Tandy fool about with the Ramone's Questioningly,but keep it (country) slow and sleepy like the rest of this charming record, a perfect summer acquisition. |
