Omnibus is a 2006 compilation of songs from the Montana band Tarkio.
Tracks 1–12 on disc one were originally released on the album I Guess I Was Hoping For Something More.
Tracks 1–6 on disc two were originally released on the EP Sea Songs For Landlocked Sailors, while tracks 11-14 were originally performed live on the radio station KGBA and released on the album "Live on KGBA 1998." The original KGBA album contained many songs from the band's earlier album and at the time soon to come EP, and these performances were omitted in the compilation to include only the material exclusive to the broadcast.
Although writing most of the songs, Tarkio used some covers in the recording of Omnibus. "Never Will Marry" and "Mountains of Mourne" (originally "The Mountains of Mourne") are both Irish folk ballads that have been covered by Johnny Cash and Bill Craig respectively. "Goodbye Girl" is a cover of the Squeeze song from their album Cool for Cats.
