Since bursting on to the music scene four decades ago with the classic Behind the Magnolia Curtain, Tav Falco has slowly but consistently evolved from his early avant-hillbilly noise roots to what now encompasses a strange brew of Latin tango rhythms, Depression-era blues, haunting cabaret standards, and party-starting rock ‘n’ roll. He continues to push boundaries with the release of Cabaret of Daggers, quite possibly the most ambitious album of his career.
