Customer Ratings & Reviews

I caught the Barr Brothers in concert as an opening act a few years back and was spell-bound by the aural tapestry they wove. Beautiful, sometimes almost to the point of being fragile, yet never wimpy. Two hallmarks of their sound - an acoustic guitar bowed by a piece of wire to eerie effect and washes of vocal harmony - intrigued and excited me, and their debut CD lived up to the live show. Happily, this new CD brings everything that I loved about the first and adds more propulsion and more experimentation to the mix. Make no mistake, these are songs first with plenty of hummable hooks, but the Barr Brothers aren't satisfied with just recreating what's been created before. If you're looking to branch out from the mainstream but want to keep a foot in the familiar, check this CD out.
