Tell The World About Us!

One of the flagship acts of the 1950s folk boom, the Tarriers were a breeding ground for future stars in assorted fields of entertainment. At various times the group's membership included Academy Award-winning actor Alan Arkin, Erik Darling who went on to co-found the Rooftop Singers of 'Walk Right In' fame, virtuoso musician Eric 'Duelling Banjos' Weissberg and Marshall Brickman, co-author of the scripts for many of Woody Allen's finest films - to name just a few graduates from their musical academy!The Tarriers were active from 1957 to 1964, during which time they continually challenged the Kingston Trio as America's most loved folk favourites. This Jasmine collection features two albums from two different line ups of the group - one studio, and one live - drawn from their middle, and many would say peak, years. It contains a strong mix of traditional folk and bluegrass favourites, many of which will be familiar to all lovers of those genres. Remastered - as always - from the finest available sources, "Tell The World About Us" captures the sound of an American folk music institution at the peak of it's powers. We are sure that lovers of the genre will not tarry in making it a priority purchase!
