Run C&W

Run C&W was an American novelty bluegrass group that was active in the early 1990s, playing mostly cover renditions of classic soul and R&B songs in a bluegrass or roots country style, including banjo, harmonica, washboard, and multi-part vocal harmonies.[1] They also played a handful of original parody songs. The band's name is a mix of the abbreviation for the "country & western" music genre (C&W), and Run DMC, a popular hip-hop group of the time.

The band was composed of veteran musicians including lead vocalist Russell Smith, formerly of the Amazing Rhythm Aces; banjoist Bernie Leadon, formerly of the Eagles and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; along with Nashville songwriters Jim Photoglo and Vince Melamed, both of whom played various instruments.[1] In performance and in the album artwork and liner notes, the members portrayed fictitious non-identical quadruplets The Burns Brothers, each with pun names: Crash'n Burns, G.W. "Wash" Burns, Side Burns, and Rug Burns.[1] Their father was known as "Dad Burns" and their mother as Augusta "Au" Burns.

Run C&W recorded two albums, both on MCA Records: 1993's Into the Twangy-First Century, followed by 1994's Row vs. Wade, and filmed at least one music video.

gollark: I was looking at trying to address the main issue with it - the possibility of```luatextutils.unserialise [[ (function() while true do end end)()]]```things (its _ENV is sandboxed, so it can't do anything other than denial of service attacks) but I think you would *basically* need a parser to prevent that.
gollark: `textutils.unserialize` is really bad and just uses `load` internally, see.
gollark: No, that's a valid table.
gollark: > we're talking about how regular people have no obligation to know what the fuck a word size isThey could probably ask someone who might know. Although they may not think of it.
gollark: and not just have a route for each.
