THE BE GOOD TANYAS RELEASE LIMITED-EDITION, DELUXE BLUE HORSE VINYL TO CELEBRATE 10 YEARS

In celebration of the 10 year anniversary of the album’s worldwide release, a deluxe limited edition 180 gram vinyl version of the album will be released on July 5, 2011, by the band’s long time label, Nettwerk Records.

This limited edition re-release includes not only all of the old favourites in their original order, but incorporates three bonus tracks. Two of these, Mule on the Mountain and Ain’t No Change, are previously unreleased tracks from the Blue Horse recording sessions, and feature founding member of the band, Jolie Holland. These songs from those early days recall the thrill of the band’s unique, unpolished sound, and their love of early American folk and blues. Jolie Holland, a key spark in the band’s early formation, along with Samantha Parton, Trish Klein, and Frazey Ford, all sing and play like they just arrived on their backporch to charm the neighbourhood. The final bonus track, Be Good Tanya, at last reveals the origins of the band’s name – residing in the wit and skill of San Francisco songwriter Obo Martin, whose songwriting inspired the band from their first rehearsal. Rather than include a cover of Obo’s song, the band chose instead to include a recording of Obo Martin himself performing the song that gave the band their name.

In addition to three bonus tracks, The Be Good Tanyas are excited to offer, as part of this special edition vinyl, a 28 page songbook that features sheet music for all of the songs from Blue Horse as well as chords and lyrics for the three bonus tracks.

The limited edition vinyl will also include a digital download card. We’re thrilled to offer this exclusive package to fans old and new who wish to commemorate this anniversary with us.

To mark this special anniversary, The Be Good Tanyas will be doing a selected run of Western live performance dates this summer. View tour dates
