Tarbox has worked as a
solo artist throughout his career, often favoring a drum-guitar duo format. In 2010 he released his first
solo album,
My Primitive Joy. Produced by Scott McEwen at The Fry Pharmacy Studio in
Old Hickory, TN, its spare arrangements, acoustic sound and lyrical approach stand in contrast to The Tarbox Ramblers' aggressive amplified sound. A second solo album was slated for release in 2012. Tarbox's songs have been used in the television shows
Sons of Anarchy and
Supernatural. They include "Ashes To Ashes," "Already Gone," "Were You There?" and "No Harm Blues."
