Bob Barrick - Wildflower Runner

Review by George Trunyan

Wildflower Runner, the latest album by Bob Barrick, is an impressive collection of songs that showcase the artist's exceptional songwriting skills and versatility. Throughout the album, Barrick takes listeners on a journey through different genres, from country to folk and rock, weaving together a tapestry of emotions and stories.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Runaway Train," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features Barrick's signature twangy vocals, backed by a driving rhythm section and upbeat guitar riffs. From there, the album takes a more contemplative turn with tracks like "Wildflower Runner" and "The Last Goodbye," which showcase Barrick's ability to craft poignant and heartfelt ballads.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Broken Bottles," a haunting and introspective song that explores the darker side of life. The song features sparse instrumentation, allowing Barrick's lyrics to take center stage as he sings about the pain and regret of a life lived in the shadows.
