Twang-ucopoia (Balanced Diet) is the debut release of the New Copasetics, recorded in a "live" Big Pink-style in the living room studios of Global Mobile in the San Francisco Bay Area with minimal overdubbing. This project has been developing for several years, with a few personnel changes and honing of the musical directions, and is now ripe for release. The music ranges from originals to their own take on select material from great artists such as Rockpile (Nick Lowe & Dave Edmunds), Ry Cooder, Delbert McClinton, Gary Nicholson, Little Feat, Don Covay, The Simms Twins, Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen, Manual Galban and L. D. Armstrong. The New Copasetics players have ridiculous credits: Tim Eschliman (acoustic string bass, vocals, worked with Etta James, Commander Cody & His Western Airmen, Jesse Colin Young, The Christmas Jug Band, played on the Grammy-nominated Garden Of Joy album by M aria Muldaur), Sean Allen (electric guitar, lap steel, vocals, worked with Carlene Carter, Commander Cody & His Western Airmen, Tommy Thomsen), Dallis Craft (piano, vocals, worked with Bruce Willis, K.T. Oslin), and Kevin Hayes (drums, worked with Robert Cray, Bonnie Hayes).
