American musician and producer, Jerry Harrison, was born on February 21, 1949 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He gained recognition as a former member of two influential bands: The Modern Lovers (1971-1974) and Talking Heads (1976-1991). Throughout the 1980s, he also released three solo albums under the name Casual Gods. In addition to his musical pursuits, Harrison owns a recording studio called Sausalito Sound. Since 1991, he has focused on producing and has worked with notable artists such as Violent Femmes, Crash Test Dummies, and Live. Recently, Harrison embarked on a live tour tribute to Remain In Light alongside fellow Talking Heads touring member Adrian Belew.

With his 1981 solo debut album The Red and the Black, Jerry Harrison proves his formidable talent as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. Dense, abrasive and focused, The Red and the Black’s complex and funky musical style was ahead of its time. Harrison's observations throughout the album on the modern condition ring all the more true in our digital age. This limited edition 2LP edition features the 1981 album recut from the original tapes plus a bonus LP of previously unreleased outtakes and alternate mixes.
