Free Your Mind

The 11 songs that appear on Free Your Mind, the 10th studio album from Seattle-based Too Slim and the Taildraggers, are the result of a touring hiatus in December 2007 and January 2008. 'It was the first time I actually took time off specifically to write songs,' remembers band leader Tim Langford (AKA Too Slim), 'and I'm very pleased with the results.' The songs on Free Your Mind are a slice of American Roots music, with Blues, Americana and Rock influences. Tim Langford worked again with producer Todd Smallwood on the new album. Smallwood also co-produced the band's last CD, The Fortune Teller, which charted as high as #9 on the Billboard magazine Top Blues Album sales chart in 2007 and 2008. The Fortune Teller was also nominated for Best Contemporary Blues Album"" at the 2008 Blues Blast Music Awards in Chicago. This award-winning band has been voted Best Regional Act 11 times by the Cascade Blues Association.
