Absolutely Kosher Records will be putting out a 21-track career retrospective of the greatShooby Taylor, AKA The Human Horn. Taylor passed away three years ago, and has left a confounding legacy. Rob Crow has talked about him as a big influence and if you listen close you can pick it up in Pinback's sound and especially in Crow's solo work. The release date has not been announced, but it should be around early 2007.
