(He can also be heard on Gram Parsons' classic <I>GP</I>.) Per their <a href=http://www.tashianmusic.com/>web page</A>, the duo have released six acoustic country discs, none of which I've heard - though I'm definitely curious. 596674@blogcritics.org Thu, 31 May 2007 07:54:20 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/05/29/081136.php#comment-596557 I've got a New Rose/Fan Club 2 vinyl set of the Remains - they were everything you said, and more. There's a live in the studio demo session, and you should hear the thrashing they lay onto "Hang On Sloopy" and other 60's nuggets (no pun intended). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Barry Tashain's name occasionally shows up in backing vocal credits in Nashville porduced country albums. 596557@blogcritics.org Thu, 31 May 2007 00:15:48 EDT
