Dancing on Tables Barefoot

Dancing on Tables Barefoot is the debut solo album by Irish singer Tara Blaise released in 2005.

Background
Blaise had previously met John Hughes, the manager of The Corrs, when he was looking for a vocalist to sing on his own album. Hughes signed him to his label, Spokes, and the Corrs' producer, Olle Romo, produced her solo debut. The first single from the album, "Fool for Love," was touted by BBC Radio 2 broadcasters Terry Wogan and Jonathan Ross.

The album was re-issued in 2006 on DRO/Atlantic with four additional songs.

Critical reception
The album received mixed reviews. The Sunday Times praised it: "Pretty much everything here could be a single - and there aren't many albums you can say that about." RTÉ gave the album 3/5 stars, praising Blaise's voice but calling some of the songs "inane." Several reviewers compared Blaise's music to Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell, as well as the Corrs.
