THE BARKER BAND
the night ain't over

Release Date: 10/09/2007

on 'the night ain't over' the barker band have built on the solid foundations laid by their eponymous debut and excellent second album, 'the lonesome waltz'. even though this is their third long-player, you still have to stop and remind yourself that this is a band that learnt its trade on the mean streets of london, not the dusty highways, byways - and even dustier bars - of the southern states of america. much of 'the night ain't over' carries a one horse town barroom joy with it. fronted by young twins jake and sam, the barker band combine bluegrass instrumentations with outstanding, memorable tunes. definitely one of the best new london country bands to emerge recently.
