Inspiring (in the truest sense of the word)

"Each of these albums was great when first released. The musicianship, writing and production are all fantastic. I grew up listening to these records and they age very gracefully. The high point has got to be "Castle Rock" which was written by John Harris. Certain pieces of music affect you for a lifetime. Appalacian Spring by Aaron Copeland, Castle Rock, others as well. This is what I always envisioned when contemplating what Richard Halley's 5th Concerto would sound like (for all you Atlas Shrugged fans)"

Studio musicians form a constructed waterfall of sound.

"Studio musicians from Nashville got disgruntled, went up into the Smoky Mtns., and came out with this (double, now) CD. It preaches the peace and love of that particular generation, but it's the music/craftmanship of folks that are usually only "hired" for their expertise that results. These guys, particularly Mac Gayden and Wayne Moss (and originally Kenny Buttrey), are incredibly talented on their own. Listen to the arrangements, then pay attention to the lyrics. One of my favorite CDs, and should be one of yours."

Childhood

"My father assisted in designing the music studios for Warner Brothers in the late sixties, early seventies. As compensation for his work he was given hundreds of albums stamped "WB Demo". Being born in 1974 I thought nothing of it...until I was "old enough to know better". My parents decided to have a big garage sale in about 1996. My father put out crate after crate of vinyl records. My brother and boyfriend went through the records and salvaged tons of classics. I was blessed and graced enough to receive the Barefoot Jerry self title album, 1973. To this day it is still one of my most favorite albums. The musical talent and diversity in this album is remarkable. Those who are heavily influenced by the fabulous music put out in the late sixties/early seventies will be sure to find this record worth several listens.



I know this is a compilation set but the songs of the '73 album are phenomenal. Peace and blessings to you all."
