Spirited fiddler and delightful vocalist Brian Marshall (third generation Polish-Texan) leads a hearty polka band in a program of mostly traditional Polish dances and songs, sung in Polish by the leader. The Tex-Slavik Playboys (all Texans of mostly Slavic background!) create that unmistakeable Texas blend of southern Polish fiddle tunes and Texas western swing. Should appeal not only to Polish and Czech Texans but to Polish Americans and anyone who loves to dance and listen to American polka music.

REVIEW “In the nineteenth century, Polish bands used fiddles to create a distinctly Texan sound. The rural sound died out decades ago, but Brian Marshall and His Tex-Slavik Playboys bring it back with grace and verve on Texas Polish Roots (Arhoolie). A Houston native with Bremond roots, Marshall has a fiddle style redolent of the Old Country while containing elements of Western swing as well. The tunes are nearly all traditional, but they're more for dancers than folklorists, these guys are to Texas polka what BeauSoleil is to Cajun music.”(John Morthland — Texas Monthly) |
