David Lynch, Old Time Music Homepage Creator
"the music sounds good! The Pacific NW Old-Time Scene is hopping as much or more than it is here in the NC mountains!"
Jeff Austin, Mandolinist for Yonder Mountain String Band
"I don't know how you guys were sitting down (in reference to The Tallboys preference to sit while playing). I just wanted to dance the whole time!"
Devon Leger, Northwest Folklife Festival Programmer
"I've just been listening to your new album, "Yeah Buddy". You guys kick ass! Sometimes I wake up with that song about kicking dogs in my head. Old-time music is the shiznit!!"
Jim McCabe, Wedding Client
"Thank you all so much for playing at our wedding last weekend. People are still telling us about how much they loved your music. From out point of view it worked out perfectly."
Ryan Leckie, Wedding Client
"It truly was a great time. Everyone thouroghly enjoyed you guys and Paul (square dance caller). We were truly lucky to have a group of such caliber at our wedding. People are still talking about it. Thanks again!"
Lee Jardine, Eclectic Cloggers of Seattle
"Charmaine, I saw you perform with the Tall Boys yesterday at Folklife - your act was one of the best performances that I saw this entire weekend. Just wonderful! The music was great and your flatfooting was incredibly fun to see and hear! I've bookmarked the Tall Boy's website performance calendar so that I can see you all again. What a great show!!"
Greg Banasek of Seattle
"Hello Ms. Slaven: My eight year old daughter and I enjoyed your performance on Monday. The previous week I saw your Tallboys performance at the Market. You have an awesome talent and wonderful aura. Keep up the good work!"
Jon Berger of San Francisco
"Hi there Tallboys -- I saw you at Folklife, and I was REALLLY impressed. Your fiddle player has a level of tone and accuracy that's way beyond what I usually hear from old-time players; I can't help being reminded of Bruce Molsky. And my wife is a clogger, so I have some idea of when clogging is good, and, well, damn. Words fail me."
Skye Finney, Arkansas - 5 star review on Tower Records of Yeah Buddy, February 05, 2006
"This band is really tight! I used to live in Seattle and saw them whenever i could. Fun to dance to. This album rocks. Good singing and fun tunes."
CDBaby Reviewer M. Peters
"Great CD. Fun to listen. Very talented musicians."
CDBaby Reviewer mhenry
"Not a bad track! I know almost nothing about old time-y music, I'm afraid, so I can't give what you would call an informed review. However, I heard these guys playing in the street while visiting Seattle and bought the CD and it was excellent. Not a bad track in the bunch."
CDBaby Reviewer Julie
"Fun, unique music. Purchased it as a gift for my banjo playing father and I ended up listening to it for 3 days straight in my car."
CD Baby Reviewer, Reinhard Gress of Germany 1/05
"I like this full string band sound!!!!"
