First time as a 2 on 1 release for the two albums released by Run C & W. Individual copies of the MCA originals are
selling for a fortune now on eBay.
Run C&W is a novelty country project, but it has nothing to do with the rap group its name comes from; instead, group
members Crashen Burns, Wash Burns, Side Burns and Rug Burns transform vintage soul classics into bluegrass-style
twang.
The Burns Brothers are of course fictional creations; the group is actually composed of ex-Eagle Bernie Leadon on banjo,
ex-Amazing Rhythm Ace Russell Smith on lead vocals, and Nashville songwriting pros Vince Melamed and Jim
Photoglo on various instruments.
The group debuted for MCA in 1993 with Into The Twangy-First Century, concentrating mostly on humorous
rearrangements but also offering the occasional parody, original song and jokey lyrical aside. Row vs. Wadefollowed in
1995, after which the group went their separate ways.
