SPIRIT OF ROCK 'N' ROLL SPIRIT OF ROCK 'N' ROLL
On one level, “Spirit” tells of a guy continually searching, trying to find the band of his dreams that play pure rock 'n' roll. On another level, it can be interpreted as the Spirit, or ghost, of Buddy Holly wandering through the fog-bound streets
LOVE MAKIN', HEART BREAKIN', SON OF A GUN LOVE MAKIN', HEART BREAKIN', SON OF A GUN
As the title suggests, it's the story of a lovable rogue - a wheeler dealer, who is constantly on the run, doing his best to stay one step ahead of the law.
DUSTY ROAD DUSTY ROAD
I originally envisaged this as a theme song to a TV series. The character, not wanting to be tied down, moves on from town to town, in & out of various love affairs & misadventures.
WORKING IS THE CURSE OF THE DRINKIN' MAN WORKING IS THE CURSE OF THE DRINKIN' MAN
This was inspired from a quote by Oscar Wilde. I saw the framed quote hanging on the wall of the Ettamogah Pub & decided it would make a good song title. A definite drinking song!
A LITTLE BIT OF SUMMER A LITTLE BIT OF SUMMER
A Ballad written to express my feelings about the woman I love - what more can I say!

Many such groups had specific ambitions of achieving stardom, fame and fortune, and indeed some did. Others were happy just to be taking part in the new goodtime music that was bursting with energy, fun and excitement.
Fame and fortune never came their way, mainly due to the fact they weren't really looking for it. However, one day during the mid 1960's, another young man, full of confidence and enthusiasm, introduced himself to the group armed with plans and schemes, hopes and dreams, and became their manager. Along with organising various appearances on popular TV shows, including Billy Thorpe's "It's All Happening", he secured the band a recording contract with EMI Records.
Barry's group "The Ramrods", continued playing the music they loved for many years, while their ex-manager went on to fulfill his own political plans, schemes, hopes and dreams.
Barry's first album as a singer/songwriter was released in 2005 and his roots in Rock 'N' Roll are clearly defined. "Spirit Of Rock 'N' Roll" also encompasses a wide variety of styles and moods, ranging from country to ballads to blues. Sounds that are easy on the ear, reminiscent of a time when music had a backbeat rhythm that grabbed at your soul, a tenor sax that ripped it apart, an 88 pumping over an old slap bass....Pure Rock 'N' Roll played straight from the heart.Your musical influences
