Tim "Too Slim" Langford
Listening to Too Slim & The Taildraggers is, as one reviewer put it, .".. like taking a journey through the history of American music." Absorbing everything he could at first, Tim “Too Slim" Langford, lead guitarist and vocalist for the group, today plays what he likes. Although his focus at first may have been blues, today what Langford likes may encompass everything from down home blues, to funky blues rock, Americana, southern swamp rock and instrumental guitar styles.



This works for him, as Too Slim & The Taildraggers have been headliners at theaters, festivals and concert stages, and the broad varieties of styles has enabled them to share the stage with everyone from Bo Diddley, Brian Setzer, Johnny Lang, Robert Cray, Ted Nugent, Los Lobos, Blue Oyster Cult, Travis Tritt, Neil McCoy, Blues Traveler, and other notables.



AAJ contributor and Cross Harp Chronicles publisher David King spoke with Too Slim about the evolution of the band, its new release, Free Your Mind (Underworld, 2009)...and steak sauce.
