"SO
FEW TRULY ORIGINAL FIGURES EXIST IN POP MUSIC THAT DAN HICKS SHOULD
BE A NATIONAL TREASURE." --SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"As
a performer and songwriter, Dan Hicks is imminently engaging,
twisting his signature mishmash of damn near every musical style
known to man into songs that feel supremely natural. The magic
holds for as long as the music plays; once a song’s over,
the theoretical strangeness of Hicks’ sound sinks in. How
could Western Swing play alongside gypsy jazz, while surf rock
mingles with bossa nova cowboy sing-alongs, and female backup
singers play call-and-response with Hicks’ very particular
vocal twang? Add to that Hicks’ penchant for writing lyrics
filled with a dry wit, and you’ve got something very strange
- very strange and very wonderful." - - Nicholas
Hall, Seattle Weekly

that could only be born from a creative genius.

virtuosos David Grisman, Charlie Musselwhite, Bruce Forman, and
slide-guitarist Roy Rogers, and produced by Grammy-winning roots
music
producer Chris Goldsmith, "Tangled Tales" delivers 8
great new original tunes that feel like instant Dan Hicks classics
(and some choice cover tunes too). This album is calculated to
keep your toes tappin' and your synapses
zappin'. -- SURFDOG
