Golden Palominos are a project of Anton Fier, drummer (Lounge Lizards et al)
and has always (i think) included Bill Laswell, bassist/producer.  their
first album, on OAO records includes John Zorn, Jamaaladeen Tacuma and others
and is thick with noisy and raucous improvisation a la Last Exit and 
similar jazz/noise music.  Blast of Silence, their second full length 
album with wide distribution, includes Syd Straw, Michael Sweet and T-Bone
Burnett on vocals and Fier, Laswell, Peter Blegvad, and others playing and
producing.  The music is *very* palatable, often C&W colored, and seamlessly
crafted by musicians who usually tread much wilder musical climes.  IMHO of
interest to any R.M.G. posters.  Their various singles have included the
famous cameos and are, for the most part, included in Thundering Herd with
stuff from the full lengthers and other projects which makes for an uneven
total CD for those who don't dig the wild noisy stuff but points out the
diversity of the players.

I'd reccommend Blast of Silence as a next venture--unless you hate C&W
sounding music (it's no more twangy than Syd Straw's album).  the first
album is really quite different.
