Listen to tracks from menagerie on Bandcamp
Released 2009, MolioTown Moli04
A decade since our first release, and a lot of miles under the old Tater van taught us lots about writing, recording and performing, and we hope it shows in this project. Features favourites from our concerts, including Such a Good Day, Spend a Little Time With Me, Walking in the Sunshine, Cat in the Window and more.
“Start with the first track of the aptly named “Menagerie” and let it roll for a phenomenal listening experience. This album has it all in a nice mix of originals and covers that are sure to leave you with a smile… The musicianship on here is just superb, including some horns, a mandolin, a banjo, and probably some other things I can’t identify! Craig Evans (who sounds a lot like Roy Orbison or Raul Malo or Elvis) and Brad Tucker have a magical blend and harmonies that simply have to be heard. In short, if you like your music uncomplicated, pure and sure to stick with you, try out Menagerie. You won’t be disappointed”. – Customer review, Amazon.comRecording, mixing & mastering by the master: Bill McElroy, Slipped Disc Audio
