When the Be Good Tanyas released their heralded debut disc, Blue Horse, in 2000, much of the magic came from the discovery of a talented new group whose whole was stronger than the sum of its parts--especially in the unique harmonies and mature songwriting skills. When it comes to their third disc, Hello Love, the subtle delights are all there, from the goose-bump creating vocals of co-frontwoman Frazey Ford on the title track, to the trio's bluegrass-laden instrumentation ("Little Blues" "Crow Waltz"), which provides listeners with an invitation to a Be Goods back porch jam. As is the band's way, there is an abundance of compelling cover tunes, from a Tanya-esque take on Neil Young's "For the Turnstiles" to a revisit of the underappreciated Sean Hayes's "Thousand Tiny Pieces." The originals, however, stand up equally well; highlights include "Ootischenia" and "Song for R." While the trio hasn't managed to outshine their spectacular debut, Hello Love is a CD filled with cross-generational charm and musical riches. --Denise Sheppard

Summary: Sweet Bluegrass Harmony 2008-02-17
Comment: The Be Good Tanyas have a rougher edge than other "girl-bands" with great harmony, like the Wailing Jennys, and the Weepies. The Be Good Tanyas don't worry about sounding sweet. The waver in the voices make the music more raw and emotional. My friends and I argue whether the band is folk or bluegrass. The banjo, the harmonica, and tempo in the earlier CDs suggest bluegrass, but "Ootishenia" on "Hello Love" is a folk hit waiting to happen.

Summary: Not as good as the Wailing Jenny's 2007-12-31
Comment: I bought this CD based on a suggestion from a Wailing Jenny's review that these were similar bands. I did listen to the snippets here on Amazon but after I played the full music a couple of times, I'm not very happy with it. The songs are (lyrics & music) good, but the lead singer's voice just grates on my ears. So like Bob Dylan, you either love'm or you hate'm. And in this case I fall in the latter category.
