What others say about Barry Morrison:
"Morrison writes finely crafted country anthems that are by turn loving, dark and dangerous, and sings them with an amazing baritone voice that sounds like it's seen it's share of sin".

"I like the genuine, no frills, minimalist approach Morrison takes with his outstanding music and the unique sound he achieves as a result. The great quality of his music and his voice stands on it's own without any studio contrivance".
