Talise | The Road ft. Les Blackwell & Dawgwood

Talise has a quality that reminds me of Karen Dalton, but in her own register. It’s the same kind of unguarded honesty that makes her voice unforgettable. Alongside Les Blackwell and Dawgwood, two equally enigmatic musicians, it’s a great combo.

    They sound really good. Not a fan of the "singing in cursive" style, though I don't typically listen to lyrics anyhow.
    The harmonica had some pitchy parts that made it more endearing.
    A great performance!

    Beautiful voice, pretty arrangement, solid musicianship all around. But goddamn if there’s not a Crazy amount of Larping going on here… sorry but she’s clearly in her early 20’s and she’s essentially dressing like she’s on the Oregon Trail? I dunno. To each their own and I get that it’s easier to buy into the kind of music she’s playing with that aesthetic I suppose… but it’s a bit much, whether she usually dresses like that or not…

    I discovered Talise earlier this year. I was gobsmacked by their voice and delivery. Once again, Western AF shows why they are simply the best at delivering the Music I Love. Thank you!

    …and, Talise, if you see this, we would love to host you at our house concert series in Colorado.
