Robert Christgau (A)

Dancer with Bruised Knees is the second album by Kate & Anna McGarrigle, released in 1977. It employed several notable folk musicians to contribute a bluegrass feel to many of the tracks. The album also includes three French songs, one by the McGarrigles with Philippe Tatartcheff, and two traditional numbers.

Guest musicians included John Cale, Dane Lanken, Bill Monroe, Dave Mattacks and Pat Donaldson.

Robert Christgau said the album is "Not as tuneful as some might wish" but is nonetheless "Even better than the debut". He particularly complimented the studio techniques.
