One of the defining features of The Be Good Tanyas is Frazey Ford’s distinctive vocals. As a lead singer, Frazey is poised halfway between folk and soul, paying simultaneous obeisance to Bob Dylan and Otis Redding’.
Her influences run near the surface – you can hear in her songs the combination of soul and folk that fuelled artists like Donny Hathaway and Joni Mitchell, but the stories of her new album Indian Ocean are all her own. The album is, a minor country-soul gem, full of lovely and deeply atmospheric instrumentation.
