Talking Heads' Jerry Harrison
Kris Needs, ZigZag, January 1980
JERRY HARRISON plays keyboards and guitar for Talking Heads. Usually it's David Byrne, ostrich-like singer-songwriter-guitarist, who gets seized on by writers after hot poop on the Heads. But Harrison is just as vital in shaping that distinctive noise, along with funkster rhythm department of young marrieds Tina Weymouth (bass) and Chris Frantz (drums). So we decided to talk to Jerry and look at the Heads from a different angle.
