Bernie Barlow - Walking Around This Town [CD]

Under the direction of six-time Grammy-nominated producer Dave Darling, Walking Around This Town, recorded in one week with a live band at the studio Dave's Room in North Hollywood, offers Barlow's perspective on her adopted hometown and her own resiliency as a performer. A true vocal chameleon equally adept at lead or background vocals, Barlow proves versatile in any number of genres on the new album. Walking Around This Town is the culmination of Bernie Barlow's amazing career which began as a singer for songwriter demos under the auspices of Steve Kipner ("Physical," "Genie in a Bottle"), whom she credits with "showing her how to use a recording studio." Her demo vocals on several Wilson-Phillips hits led her duo Garden of Joy to getting signed at SBK/EMI by legendary A&R executive Don Rubin in 1993, with a debut album produced by Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette). Another solo album, Golden, was released in 2003. Bernie also spent nearly a decade touring with the Moody Blues as a keyboardist and background vocalist, taking time to have a daughter, Harper.
