Too Sliim and the Taildraggers
If Tim “Too Slim” Langford only played slide guitar, he would slither around
most other blues guitarists and put a ferocious bite on their pride.
However, as the sole six-string slinger, songwriter and lead singer of the
power trio Too Slim and the Taildraggers, he is a total force of nature.
In 2014, Too Slim and the Taildraggers released “Anthology”, recorded in
Nashville with Producer Tom Hambridge. Anthology was chosen as the
#1 Album of the Year by the Blues Matters Writers poll in the UK, and
was #4 on the 2014 Roots Music Report Top Radio play for 2014. Too
Slim and the Taildraggers 2013 release “Blue Heart” rose to #3 on
Billboards Top Blues Album Chart in 2013 and was nominated for
Blue/Rock Album of the Year in 2014 at the Blues Blast Music
Awards.
Now with 17 albums and countless gigs, he remains as untamed and
menacing as ever. Too Slim and the Taildraggers 2012 CD Shiver was
nominated for Blues Rock Album of the Year by the Blues Foundation
at the 2012 Blues Music Awards in Memphis TN. Too Slim and the
Taildraggers last three releases have also charted 20 plus times in the top
10 on Billboards Top Blues Album Charts. Too Slim and the Taildraggers
have received Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement Awards by The
Washington Blues Society, The Cascade Blues Society and the Inland
Empire Blues Society. Band Leader Tim Langford has also received
numerous Best Band, Best Guitarist, Best Album and Readers Poll Awards
from all three Blues Societies and NW Media.
Too Slim and the Taildraggers music have also been featured on MTV’s
series, The Real World and Road Rules. Tim "Too Slim" Langford, with his
band the Taildraggers, have created an eclectic style of blues and rock
that has become a genre all its own. The bands ever evolving musical
direction cannot be classified into any box or category. The eclectic nature
of the band allows Too Slim and the Taildraggers to easily crossover and
appeal to audiences of various musical tastes.
In 2012, Tim Too Slim Langford relocated from Seattle to Nashville
Tennessee. Too Slim is backed by the some of the best musicians
Nashville has to offer, Eric Hanson on Bass and Jeff “Shakey” Fowlkes on
Drums/Vocals.
