This English troubadour definitely shows his Irish roots and heart in all 12 tracks on this album. "Leave It All Behind" was recorded in the USA, UK, and Germany and co-produced by top guitarist Justin Lewis and Grammy award-winning producer/engineer Tony Daigle (BB.King, Mark Knopfler) in Lafayette, Louisiana. With such pedigree, it is easy to understand why this album sounds so good.
The quality of the lyrical content, however, was what decided us to put the album on our featured list. Music is more than sound. It is an expression of ideas and preferably accompanied by a statement. This is exactly what "Leave It All Behind" has going for it. The songs are easy to relate to and follow, but by no means shallow. This album could resonate very well with a larger audience.
Barry Alexander King has delivered an album full of top-quality songwriting, hooks, lyrics, and production. Meaningful lyrics wrapped in entertaining music.
