Bourgeois Tagg
"I Don't Mind at All"

Released in 1987

Bourgeois Tagg was a rock band from California led by Brent Bourgeois in the 1980s. This track is one of my favorite songs of the decade and very Beatlesque. Many, many years later I wound up doing some work with Brent after the release of his "Don't Look Back" album in 2014. One track on that album ("Psycho" featured the members of Bourgeois Tagg and gave us a hint of what the band might have sounded like decades later).

I interviewed Brent Bourgeois about his solo album in 2014 which essentially contained a new song by Bourgeois Tagg. That article is available here
