Someone I Used To Know - clip on YouTube
Our intrepid roving reporter, Bep, has provided us with another live video clip from the Albatross reunion show. The track in question this time is Someone I Used To Know. Unfortunately, it didn't make it onto the "limited edition" CD due to technical difficulties. It was the opening song of the show and as you can hear, the boys were in fine rockin' form right from the start.
Live clip on YouTube
We came across this clip recently on YouTube and thought you might enjoy watching it. It's from a show in Holland (Cafe Cambrinus in Horst). It's Danny & Barry playing an acoustic version of the old blues song called "Talkin' Woman", which was written by Lowell Fulsom.
Rory Gallagher - His Life & Times (Barry mentioned)
If you're wondering what to buy your loved one this Christmas then perhaps Marcus Connaughton's recent book; "Rory Gallgher - His Life & Times" fits the bill. Further reason to buy it is the inclusion of a great story by Barry about the time he travelled to see Rory play in West Berlin and ended up behind the wall in East Berlin by accident. Obviously he lived to tell the tale, and it's a good one.
Here's a short interview with the author and the book can be found in all major book stores, both online and offline.

CD Reviews Bruce Springsteen & Barry McCabe - Music Worth Buying Episode 84
Robert Kinsler discusses "Wrecking Ball", the latest album by Bruce Springsteen, and TJ Ramirez talks about "Beyond The Tears", which he calls a blues concept album. The discussion concerning "Beyond The Tears" starts around 07.45 and don't be thrown off at first by the conversation about musicians who didn't make it. TJ is not talking about Barry! He obviously feels the album is about a musician who didn't make it (Johnny) and that's what the lead in is all about. It's worth listening to the Bruce segment too and please leave the guys a comment after you've listened because it's a labour of love for them.
