On this album, you will hear some songs that have a very Western gunslinger sound to a bluesy– jazz sound to even a little Texas-swing! Eleven of the thirteen songs were written by Barry. Some are sweet memories such as “September’s Song” written after celebrating his wedding anniversary with his wife Victoria; while others are just for fun, like “Going Down To The River” which actually incorporates the names of his real childhood friends. The first track “Eli Crow” by the late Paul Hendel won Song of the Year with the Academy of Western Artists -- Barry Ward
