Order a copy of "The Understanding" the new record from Tall Tales and the silver lining!!!
Tall Tales and the silver lining are from Ventura, Ca.
Tall Tales’ sound can be described as an amalgam of Americana Revivalist, and sun-soaked, multi-instrumental experimentation with a focus on ethereal yet rationalized lyrics surrounding the themes of love, nature, and friendship.
According to Robin Hilton of NPR, the music embodies “a carefree mix of country folk, with simple guitar strums that mingle playfully with spare rhythms and sweet harmonies.”
"It's as obvious as the name of the band itself: the promise of something transcendent, glistening and richly illuminating."- VC Reporter

Caught the end of the Laurel show from my backyard, it was a magical sound traveling through time and mist. Had a good nights sleep that night. sending love
A poem from W.S.Merwin/"Parts of a Tune",One old man keeps humming the same few notes of some song he thought he had forgotten back in the days when as he knows there was no word for life in the language.And if they wanted to say eyes or heart they would hold up a leaf and he remembers the big tree where it rose from the dry ground and the way the birds carried water in their voices.They were all the color of their fear of the dark and as he sits there humming he remembers some of the words.They come back to him now.He smiles hearing them come and go.
