Description:
A wild mixture of traditional and original suitable for many occasions. Songs about the legendary Hook 'Em Cow, New Jersey State Troopers, hard work, and the mad monk Rasputin mix with tunes like Robin Anders' Arabic suite Nasrudin, Drowning... (an uptempo dulcimer tune from Drew Miller), Josef Kessler's Bosnian-influenced Pontiaka, and the megaCeltic rock of Sugarfoot Congress.
Frank London from Klezmatics produced these sessions at the Noise New Jersey studio. Antler Dance was named the "World Folk Album of the Year" in the 1995 Minnesota Music Awards.
Reviews
- "Unlike other folks who come up with strange musical ideas, BiL doesn't sound forced or overly clever -- you gots to dance when you hear it; it cures the halt and the lame; it lances boils and shrinks hemmorrhoids. Believe!" -- Sadie O., SF Weekly
- "...Boiled In Lead know how to update the traditional, making it accessible to a contemporary `what? Me-listen-to-folk' audience while never losing track of what makes it traditional in the first place..." -- Alternative Press May 1995, p.64
- "...Boiled In Lead is a wild, on-the-edge band that explores the unlikely interstices between Celtic, punk rock and world music...[it] certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it is always an intriguing brew..." -- Sing Out!
