Baron of the Blues is a down-home blues record tracked by Hugh Pool at his fabled Excello recording studio in Brooklyn, New York. As with all Big Apple Blues albums, the entire album was recorded live with Barry’s authentic vocals recorded while simultaneously playing the drum tracks. A mix of Barry’s originals and blues classics, the album is a powerful tribute to Barry’s lifelong dedication to the blues and his undisputed blues royalty status on the American roots music scene. Barry is blues royalty; a true legend among blues drummers and connoisseurs. Thus, his name "the Baron of the Blues," as musicians often introduce him, is a perfect fit with his real name, Baron. Barry's playing personifies the quintessential blues-based drummer: a deep pocket, tight groove and supportive agility. Barry spent years touring with Shemekia Copeland on a myriad of domestic and international tours. Before that, he toured for years with her father, the legendary Johnny Copeland. Currently, Barry is the house drummer at the famous Manhattan blues venue, Terra Blues. There he works with the five time WC Handy Award and Grammy Award nominee, Michael Powers, as well as with staple musicians in the NYC blues scene such as Jerry Dugger, SaRon Cranshaw, Clarence Spady, Bobby Radcliff, Steve Guyger, Harlem Blues Project, and the Grammy nominated Heritage Blues Orchestra, among many others. On The Baron of the Blues, his first release as a solo artist, Barry is also featured as an amazing vocalist, all recorded live and accompanied by Hugh Pool, Brian Mitchell and Big Apple Blues.
