About
"Even if the name isn't instantly recognizable, fans of Eric Bachmann have probably witnessed Barton Carroll's contributions to Bachmann's Crooked Fingers on stand-up bass, lap-steel guitar, and periodic backing vocals. The two forged a friendship over a mutual love of Bruce Springsteen while Carroll was working as Archers of Loaf's merchandise manager and have been collaborating whenever possible ever since then. Carroll is long overdue for recognition of his own talents as a singer and a songwriter. He's hyperintelligent and hyperliterate, but his hushed and naked delivery of dour, country-tinged yarns is infinitely accessible and down to earth. Fans of Cormac McCarthy, take note."
~ The Stranger-Seattle, WA.
"There's a timelessness to the ten performances on Barton Carroll's album. They exude depth of character, passion and commitment. His songs have a literary bearing that puts him in the ranks of Paul Kelly, Nick Cave and Greg Brown....'Small Thing' is the sort of song a career can be built upon"
~ Harp Magazine
"....a dramatic statement of purpose; a thoughtful and inventive work that should appeal to those who often find themselves at the crossroads of the personal and the political."
~ No Depression
"(Carroll)...croons his melancholic, hymn-like words in a voice that recalls John Doe and Bad Religion's Greg Graffin..."
