TALE WAGON

Tale Wagon

Don’t be fooled by the word “Wagon”—this New York trio is no outlet for bearded alt-folk softies singing sad songs and pretending to live in prairie days. Bandleader Kane Daily grew up on ’70s glam and bluesy rock, and the Big Apple nightclub lifer makes with plenty of Keith Richards riffs and red-hot slide playing. His chops are impressive, but he plays with welcome economy on the strutting standouts “Might Be Somebody’s Fool” and “Wild Baby,” trading guitar heroics for the trashy-sexy feel of the New York Dolls. Also a fine pop songwriter and owner of a terrifically warm and craggy voice, Daily is the rare blues rocker with personality to spare.
