TARBOX SOLO ALBUM COMING THIS FALL!

Good people, Michael Tarbox has a solo album coming soon. It's called "My Primitive Joy," and this baby's got it all: love songs, fever dreams, gnomic utterances and a boatload of half-sane insights that really put Tarbox ahead of the pack!

Lovingly recorded in hydroponic uberstereo by the masterminds at Nashville's own Fry Pharmacy Studios, My Primitive Joy is now available for pre-order through The Michael Tarbox Blog.

Thank You!

INVITING FANS TO HELP ME MAKE MY NEW ALBUM

October 4, 2009

Dear Friends and Fans,

I'll soon release "My Primitive Joy," my first solo album. I'm proud of the new songs, and thrilled to be getting this music out there. To pre-order, listen to or get more info about My Primitive Joy, please visit My Blog.

Like a growing number of musicians, I'm looking to my fans - rather than to a record label - to help release my new album. Read good articles about this trend in The Boston Globe and on the blog of fellow musician Kristin Hersh.

If you pre-order, you'll get the CD before its official release AND help me to fund it. So thank you! If you want to play a part in helping to create My Primitive Joy, I'll repay your generosity with whatever I can - concert tickets, CDs of unreleased music, guitar lessons and more - to thank you for your support.

If you have any questions about the new record, please e-mail me here.

Many Thanks,

Michael

   About Tarbox Ramblers

While working shifts as a taxi driver in Boston, Michael Tarbox began thinking about forming a band combining his fascination with rock, primitive blues and thorny Appalachian stringband sounds. Within a few months The Tarbox Ramblers were playing their first shows, and within a year Tarbox's cabbie phase was behind him. Since then, the band's rough-hewn, direct sound has been praised by MOJO, Rolling Stone, All Things Considered, The New Yorker and more. The Tarbox Ramblers have released two CDs on Rounder and played clubs and festivals throughout The US, Canada and Europe. Tarbox will release a solo album in December 2009.



PRESS

ALL MUSIC GUIDE: "The Tarbox Ramblers go down into the deep reaches of their frontman’s collective American Gothic psyche, and dredge up the ghosts, the faded photographs, the myths and texts of a time that may never have existed in the popular consciousness… starkly beautiful textures that are drenched in sepia-toned images, and black and white newsreels from the focal point of the ravaged human heart... a slash and burn affair that holds its secrets close, and offers its dirty treasures abundantly."

THE WASHINGTON POST: “A sound that is at once reminiscent of the past yet wholly original... Their chemistry, akin to a force of nature, is undeniable... This is a band that demands to be seen again.”

THE NEW YORKER: “The band's debut album is filled with early-twentieth century blues and back-country music. Between the string bass, drums and slide guitar, you won't know what hit you.”

MOTHER JONES: "Grimy, thrilling noise"

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED: "Homemade rock 'n' roll with a dose of rattlesnake venom and gospel-drenched howling. The Tarbox Ramblers' second album delves even deeper into raw roots music than their first."
