Remember when Ronnie Earl still played blues? Barry will..

"...take you back. This guy is flat amazing! No kidding - he's got Ronnie Earl's chops, but plays with more restraint. Barry is one of the few guy's who can solo for chorus after chorus and still have something to say musically. He covers a lot of stylistic ground on this disc - shuffles, minor key slow blues (awesome!) instrumentals, humorous uptempo blues with a few gifted vocalists, a muted-tone jazzy number dedicated to Grant Green. I'd drive 5 hours to hear him play - I'm just waiting for him to hit the midwest!"
