Slim Dime are an acoustic folk duo. Their music references the simplicity and space of old time mountain music. Fog soaked valleys and mountain ash forests: a blend of rural and urban, a combination of originals and classics. Old-time, dark and debaucherous, guaranteed to stir up timeless feelings of yearning, love and heartache. Jen Land commands your ear’s attention with the tender strength of her vocals, while Chris Taylor’s warm and bright guitar carries each song from sweet beginning to bitter end. The arrangement is minimal - acoustic guitar, tenor guitar, banjo and vocals. There is complexity in Slim Dime’s music, which radiates from the raw subject matter they delve into. Completely unapologetic and unafraid to find those human things we all feel. Jen Land and Chris Taylor have been playing together for the last 10 years making country tinged music in as bands such as The Original Smith Family and The Bitter Sweets. They presently play in Slim Dime and the Prairie Kings - a Western Swing Boogie Woogie 6 Piece band and Slim Dime - an acoustic duo. Their debut album, recorded at Incubator Studios by candlelight 'Hold Fast" is a mesmerizing country folk journey, with solid song writing and beautiful renditions of traditional songs. Their second album - 'Travelogue' was recorded by Matt Walker & Rowan Matthews at their Stovepipe Studios, Produced by Matt Walker & mastered at Deluxe Mastering by Adam Dempsey. A collection of 13 songs played live, collected by an awesome collection of vintage microphones. The songs are new, original but sound as though they've always existed, somewhere on a mountaintop...... Slim Dime are traditional, they value the essential truths that come with being human and they take you on a journey of the heart to discover what that means to you. Wife and husband duo Slim Dime do old timey country folk and blues, in the vein of Gillian Welch and special microphones. Not much more to say except they're brilliant and it's beautiful………………” Live Review from K J Alverez ".................these recordings were independently made, and they exemplify the best of their kind. They also offer a simplicity of production that honours the songs - the tracks are not overlaid with more instruments than they need in order to make the sound 'bigger' for radio, which is obviously a concern for record companies. Thus we see why independent recordings suit country music so well: in a genre where songwriting is held in such high esteem, the most outstanding recordings are those that recognise that. Slim Dime treat songs with utmost respect, and the listener is the beneficiary. Plus, I could listen to Jen Land's voice for days." Jolene: The Country Music Blog Review of "Hold Fast" "the arrangements and performances are utterly engaging and, because of the nature of the material, altogether timeless. The mix of old songs and original material comes together as a seamless whole and Land sings with a voice that seems steeped in 70 years of back porch, mountain song craft. Recorded by candlelight (which sounds like a health and safety nightmare), the combination of atmosphere, presentation and themes makes “Hold Fast” a pleasure from beginning to end; and very much an album experience rather than a collection of songs."
