Barry Brusseau
The Royal Violent Birds (vinyl album)
Review by Larry Toering
I didn’t know what to think of this at first, but it turns out Barry Brusseau is a fine folk artist from the NW, whose work I’m interested in exploring further. When I pulled the album out I was blown away by what I saw, and if you pick up a copy, you will be, too. It is a lovely black and while colored vinyl, with a nice understated cover. It also comes with a download code, which is more than one can really ask for these days. I’m impressed to say the least with the quality of music and packaging of this brilliant piece of work. Being a collector of vinyl I’m always up for anything from local garage bands to import picture discs. This comes highly recommended for anyone with or without that hobby. It’s a two in one value that way. This is a great outdoor set of tunes as well, perfect for spring walks with the earphone device, or just sitting around the fire on a cool evening.
