Nash The Slash: Covered (CD)
An album full of cover versions of songs by Nash The Slash compiled by Friendly Rich and including songs from his Ralph Records album
James Jeffrey Plewman, better known by his stage name Nash the Slash, was a Canadian musician. A multi-instrumentalist, he was primarily playing the electric violin and mandolin, as well as the synthesizer, keyboards, glockenspiel, and other instruments. Nash worked as a solo artist beginning in 1975; founding the progressive rock band FM in 1976. Soon after releasing the band's first album, Black Noise, in 1977, he left the group; he resumed his solo career in 1978. Nash's music covers an eclectic range, varying from instrumental--mood-setting music, to rock and pop music with vocals. In addition to giving concert performances, he composed and performed soundtrack music for silent films, presenting these works live in movie theatres to accompany screenings of the films. Nash famously never allowed guitars on any of his solo albums and singles. He turned down Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour's offer to lay down a guitar track on his album Children of the Night. In the mid 1980s Nash the Slash was invited to support Gary Numan and Iggy Pop on their tours. In 1984, Nash released a compilation album (with most tracks remixed) entitled The Million Year Picnic on Ralph Records in the United States, the label which was home to The Residents. This covers album was introduced to us by Friendly Rich, a Canadian music composer and musician from Brampton, Ontario. Amongst many other things, Rich composed background music for three seasons of MTV's The Tom Green Show. He also founded the Brampton Indie Arts Festival, an annual event which promotes underground artists such as Nash the Slash, The Nihilist Spasm Band or Ron Sexsmith.
