'''''Thrasher Shiver''''' is the only album by the American [[country music]] duo [[Thrasher Shiver]], which was composed of singer-songwriters [[Neil Thrasher]] and Kelly Shiver. Their only album, it was issued in 1996 on [[Asylum Records]]. Two singles were released from it: "Goin' Goin' Gone" and "Be Honest", which respectively reached #65 and #49 on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now [[Hot Country Songs]]) charts. Thrasher Shiver produced the album along with Justin Niebank, while Archie Jordan also co-produced "Be Honest". "Between the Stones and Jones" was previously recorded by [[Daron Norwood]] on his 1995 album ''[[Ready, Willing and Able (album)|Ready, Willing and Able]]'', and "Closer" was later recorded by the Canadian band [[Jo Hikk]] on its 2008 debut album ''[[Ride (Jo Hikk album)|Ride]]''. After this album's release, Thrasher and Shiver parted ways, and Thrasher has since become a songwriter for other artists.

==Critical reception==
Giving it three stars out of five, Thom Jurek of [[Allmusic]] called it "polished but impassioned country-rock that touches on honky tonk, barroom weepers and modern country barn-burners" but said that the duo "sometimes suffers from trying to{{sic}} hard to avoid Nashville clichés."<ref>{{cite web|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r241112|pure_url=yes}}|title=''Thrasher Shiver'' review|last=Jurek|first=Thom|work=[[Allmusic]]|accessdate=14 February 2010}}</ref> Chuck Hamilton of ''[[Country Standard Time]]'' praised the duo's vocal harmonies and called "All the King's Horses" the countriest-sounding cut, but added, "Obviously Thrasher and Shiver have more talent than the run of the mill hunks with hats. Maybe next time, the suits will let them show more of it."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.countrystandardtime.com/d/cdreview.asp?xid=2688|title=''Thrasher Shiver'' review|last=Hamilton|first=Chuck|work=Country Standard Time|accessdate=14 February 2010}}</ref>
