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.
