iTunes Review
At the foundation of this folky Montreal quartet are the brothers Barr: Brad and Andrew. The former handles guitar duties, bass, and keyboards while the latter holds down rhythms and percussion. Sarah Page contributes harp and hammer dulcimer parts, and their longtime friend Andres Vial dials in pump organ and vibraphone tones. “Beggar in the Morning” opens strong on organic drones, unfolding into a lilting folk-rock dirge. “Ooh, Belle” follows with a hushed autumnal hymn, but “Give the Devil Back His Heart” is a standout gem where handclap rhythms and dexterous electric guitar leads help put the “rock” back in “folk-rock.” Similarly, their driving cover of Blind Willie Johnson’s “Lord, I Just Can't Keep from Crying” pumps open-tuned blues chords through distorted tube amps over a steady drumbeat; the result is something fans of both Black Lips and The Black Keys are sure to dig. “Deacon’s Son” returns The Barr Brothers to their beautifully melancholic musings before “Let There Be Horses” closes on softly strummed acoustic guitar and romantic male/female harmonies.
Customer Reviews
The Barr Brothers
Hey...iTunes!!! Play track 3: "Old Mythologies"...then put this in the correct genre. This is not Rock. If you need to create a new genre, then do so. Acoustic Rock, maybe? Superbly crafted soft rock? Ear candy? And while your recategorizing this one, fix the rest of the music on iTunes. I know it's hard. I can't classify most music these days. So, another option would be to do away with the genre list altogether. It would make it less confusing for a lot of us, I think. This band is a great find, though. People looking for actual 'rock' music probably hate it. Who are these Barr Brothers? No relation to Roseanne, I take it.
check it out!
Excellent album! Beyond solid songwriting, excellent musicianship. In a time in which so many are seeking substance, the Barr Bro's deliver...what the Barr Brothers lack in corporate affiliation, they make up for it in heart and soul. Brilliant outing.
amazing!
the barr bros are truely talented musicians and song writers. this album is beautiful... one that deserves many listens.
