Career

The group formed from a collection of folk singers who performed regularly at

Erik Darling and Bob Carey.[1] "Eventually it became the Tarriers, with Bob, me, Karl Karlton and Alan Arkin," Darling told Wayne Jancik in The Billboard Book of One-Hit Wonders. According to Darling, "Karl didn't really mesh" and left the group before the remaining trio secured a contract with Glory Records in 1956, where the Tarriers scored two hits.[3]

The Tarriers appeared in a 1957 low-budget musical

The New Journeymen. When Cooper and Weissberg reformed the trio, Al Dana was Brickman's replacement. After his return, the Tarriers re-formed. In 1965, the group accompanied Judy Collins on a tour of Poland and Russia. With the decline in popularity of folk music in the wake of the British Invasion, the Tarriers disbanded.[1]

During their career, the group in its various configurations recorded six albums. One for Glory Records, one for United Artists Records, one for Atlantic Records and three for Decca Records including The Tarriers at the Bitter End (Decca), and another on which they backed folksinger Oscar Brand - Folk Songs for Fun (Decca, 1962).
