Tangleleg
The cowboy, after a month of solitude and monotony on the ranch, generally took his pay to town for an outburst of exuberance which usually included a try at the gaming tables. Brawls and even death were the results of many gambling sessions. Liquor, which the cowboys called “tangleleg” because it did exactly that to them, and gambling were the scourges of early Western life. Their effects on the population were much more devastating than any of the rigors of Western living proved to be. Yet tangleleg and gambling existed and flourished because they were a form of release that the lonely men of the ranges demanded.
Tangleleg is based out of Denver, CO and plays a unique blend of blend of rock, jazz, funk, bluegrass, and blues.
