A Masterpiece. Period.,
By
This review is from: Barnstorm (Audio CD)
I'll never forget the first time I heard this album. College, 1975. A friend brought it over and said I had to hear it. Rolled it off on a reel-to-reel tape as I listened, and STILL went out and bought the album. Played the tape all the time so I wouldn't wear out the LP. It's showing its age, but I still have it and wouldn't part with it for anything. I find it incredible that MCA has not released this domestically on CD. All of Joe's albums are great, but this one is superb. If only ONE of them was available, this should be the one. Instead it's the only one you can't get. The music industry never ceases to amaze me... Thanks, Lynne, wherever you are, for turning me on to this masterpiece all those years ago!

Timeless Gem,
By Chris Burchell (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barnstorm (Audio CD)
This was Joe's first 'solo' venture after the James Gang and for me his finest hour. Barnstorm was actually the name of the band supporting Joe, namely Joe Vitale and Kenny Passarelli whose musicianship throughout is first class.It's actually a difficult album to categorise, but is much looser in feel than the 'Smoker You Drink' LP form the following year. It's almost Country Rock, but with some jazy symphonic instrumental passages and the raw 'Turn to Stone' which sits rather uneasily on the album and is given much better treatment on the 'So What' LP. The whole LP seems to be evoking a fontier life feel to match the cover of a deserted barn on a remote hillside. Tracks such as 'Midnight Visitor' with its swirling pedal steel and the uplifting 'Birdcall Morning' still sound fresh after many years of playing. Perhaps the highlights are the instrumental sections notably Joe Vitale's Giant Bohemoth which sounds almost like Pink Floyd and the closing and very touching 'Comin Down' This is really great stuff and sadly in the UK almost impossible to get hold of on CD. Its worth checking out if you enjoy bands like Poco and the Ozark Mountain Daredevils.

the only thing that could compare to this is pink floyd,
By A Customer
This review is from: Barnstorm (Audio CD)
I was dirving over to Gary's house listening to Meddle and was really into that at the time, got to Gary's and he pop's on Barnstorm and I sat down and didn't say a word until it was over. I was blown away, start to finish, wish this would have been a double album. Picked up the album cover and looked it over asked Gary where he got the album and then left and went out and bought it. Listened to Meddle and Barnstorm until I wore them out. I picked up the cd several years back and still listen to it. As far as I'm concerned this is the best Joe. I agree with all the people who have written before me. This is genuis and I would have loved to have been there while they were recording this one. If you don't have a copy of this pay the money and you will not be disappointed. THIS IS MAGIC. Like I said the only thing that could compare to this is Pink Floyd. If you don't believe me the put on Meddle and then Barnstorm and then Wish You Were Here and see for yourself. Oh, and by the way happy 50th on the 9th Gary.
