Reviews
If This doesn’t set your toe to tapping and put a smile on your face, you should probably get medication.
No one does it any better…careful you won’t combust.
Popping-hot, double-roasted folk-jazz…
They lithely bop… tight harmonizing… spicy… romantically old-fashioned…
One of the few outstanding bands…
Bohemian Tango out now!
A wonderful blend of Americana-flavoured Gypsy Jazz – mandolin driven with possibly the best female singer – ever! This is the Wail’s eighth recording and celebrates the entrance into the second quarter-life of the band. There is feeling of uplift thru-out the entire CD. HW is a Maggie; vocal-percussion / Sims; mandolin-guitar-ukulele / Jeffo; acoustic stand up and electric 5 string bass trio. Guest artists on this CD are Dave Adler; piano and melodica, Les Thimmig; saxophone, Kelby Kryshak; drums, Gonzalo Bergara and Mark Kreitzer; guitar.
