Too Slim & the Taildraggers

One of the finest original Blues Rock trios performing today.”- Brian Owens, Blues Review Magazine

“If it is possible to be a natural-born guitarist, Langford fits the description.”—Rick Allen, Vintage Guitar Magazine

Tim “Too Slim” Langford is a monster guitarist and unabashed blues-rocker whose influences run the gamut from Lightnin’ Hopkins to Freddy King, Duane Allman, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Robin Trower.  He is a prolific singer/songwriter whose songs have now yielded more than 20 albums. In that time, the band has evolved in many directions while still staying to their contemporary blues-rock sound that has been described as “Straight Whiskey Blues with a Southern Rock Beer Chaser.”

“The Remedy,” the most recent studio album, debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top Blues Album Chart in 2020. The band’s 2018 release “High Desert Heat” was nominated for Blues Rock Album of the Year by the Blues Foundation at the Blues Music Awards in Memphis. “High Desert Heat” also stayed on the Billboard Top Blues Album chart for 11 weeks. Their 2016 release “Blood Moon” was voted Blues Rock Album of the Year at the 2016 Jimi Awards and was also nominated for Blues Rock Album of the year at the 2016 Blues Blast Music Awards. “Blood Moon” reached #6 on the Billboard Top Blues Album Chart in 2016. Their 2014 release “Anthology” was voted #1 Blues Album of the Year by Blues Matters Writers Poll in 2015. The 2013 release “Blue Heart” rose to #3 on the Billboard Top Blues Album Chart and was nominated for Rock/Blues Album of the Year at the 2015 Blues Blast Music Awards.

In addition to those many accomplishments, Slim and the Taildraggers has played more Winthrop Rhythm Blues festivals than any other act. Through fire, storms, and more than 30 years, this band has always brought their beloved blues-rock back to the Blues Ranch.
