They don't come much more promising than here. The fourth Tandy kicks off with 'New Candy Necklace', stripped down to the bone and chilling from beginning to end. As 'Becky California' continues the revival of the acoustic guitar, it's getting even more adventurous and chilling than the opener, with the introduction of a sitar and tabla by the co-founders of the Church of Betty, Chris Real and Deep Singh. So, I guess that it's about time to get to know a little more about what's going on here, because no one could afford to miss out on Tandy's excellent 'The Bloodroot Transcriptions'. 'Fidelis', for instance, starts out nicely, but towards the end it sounds as if it's Bob Dylan himself who is going crazy. My favorite song here has to be the playful 'The Truth is Better Than a Lie', but then again, there are so many treasures left to discover. The album reveals more and more with every spin. And I should not forget to mention that there is something for everyone, because Tandy don't get stuck inside of their own folky roots. Aside from multi-instrumentalist Drew Glackin (Silos, Crash Test "mmmmmmmmm" Dummies), Scott Yolder (Star City, Blue Chieftains, Amy Rigby), and drumming vocalist Tom McCrum (Yep, Irish as can be.), there many more special guests showing up on 'The Bloodroot Transcriptions', which is a welcome surprise. To name just a few special guests: Singer-songwriter Malcome Holcombe is singing on 'Fidelis', and even Frog Holler drops by on the homage to 19th Century American author, philosopher, inventor, and banjo picker 'Louis Green'. Can you really ask for more? Well, for those people who can't get enough, the CD comes with an interactive section. It features videos of three previously released songs, recent live versions of 'Ship To Shore', 'The District Doctor', and 'Far From Home', which can be found on their second album 'Some Summer's Day' (originally released in 1999). All in all, a more than sublime album, and you know what? Life is so much harder without Tandy.
