High and Lonesome - 1988 Cassette
Hard core traditional bluegrass music featuring Rich Jones on Banjo, Martin McFalls on Bass, Kevin Bennett on Fiddle, John Schubert on Guitar, and Tab on Dobro. This album was recorded , mixed, and produced in less than 10 hours total, but its hard to tell that from listening to it. 

Crossfire - On Target-1993 Cassette
This group won the Pacific Northwest Division of the Pizza Hut International Bluegrass Band Championships, then went on to take third in the finals at Owensboro, Kentucky in 1993. 

The Palmer Sisters - Myopic Three Legged Dog-1991 Cassette
Out of print for now, but several selections from the original have been included in Tabs new release on Dodo Records "Behind The Barn".

Mike Lundstrom - Please Accept This Simple Song-1996 CD
Lundstrom was a student of Tabs in the late 80s and a great dobro player. This CD features Mike on the Dobro and Tab on the Pedal Steel. Mike is one of the few players who can sing and play the dobro at the same time. This is a great CD.

Tab Tabscott - Behind The Barn-1995 CD and Cassette
Of the 18 cuts on this recording, 11 of them are originals. Topics run from environmental concerns to completely ridiculous themes.  There is an ample dose of the serious, however. Check out "Remingtons Ride", "The Song For Ruth", or "Geez Louise". Tabscott invited over 20 of his friends to play on this project, and the results are worthwhile.
