Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Be Good Tanyas formed in Vancouver in the late 1990s, with Samantha Parton, Trish Klein, and Frazey Ford singing together. Their early recordings like 'I Wish My Baby Was Born' and 'Coo Coo Bird' had a quiet, homespun feel that stood out from the polished folk-pop of the time. They released their first album, Good Country People, in 1999.
Frazey Ford left the band in 2008 to work on her own music, leaving Parton and Klein to continue as a duo. They kept making records, including Hello Love and Water in the Well. Their sound stayed rooted in acoustic folk, with harmonies that felt more lived-in than ethereal.
Their songs sometimes turned up in films and TV shows, but they never seemed interested in chasing a bigger spotlight. They just kept playing the music they wanted to play, with the same modest approach they started with.
