Barry first found music when he borrowed his sister's record collection when he was about eight and was hooked. When Caroline started it was a new beginning, and he listened to all the stations, but Caroline was his favourite by far. Later he became a singer in a band, then started doing discos when he was 18. He joined Caroline in 1977, touring the country with the Caroline Roadshow for 10 years, having great fun. Barry helped with tender trips and worked on the Ross Revenge in '84 and '85. ...

While the book is more a browse through book, rather than a reader, Satisfaction, 10 Albums That Changed My Life, gives a great inside look on which musicians influenced over 80 rock musicians. Since there’s no real way to cover almost 800 influential songs, we decided to feature the 10 albums that greatly influenced my appreciation of music, in a somewhat chronological order, by selecting a couple of songs off these records. Maybe these will bring back a memory or two, enjoy these influential cuts.
10 Albums That Changed My Life is:
1. Axis Bold As Love – Jimi Hendrix 1967: Axis Bold As Love/ Spanish Castle Magic
It was a paradigm shift that continues to influence today, from SRV to Gary Clark, Jr.
2. Living The Blues – Canned Heat 1968: Boogie Music/ Going Up The Country
This one taught me how to boogie!
3. Sweetheart Of The Rodeo – Byrds 1968: One Hundred Year From Now/ Nothing Was Delivered
This opened the door to the Flying Burritos, Poco, Marshall Tucker, and later Texas’ outlaw country.
4. Blues From Laurel Canyon – John Mayall 1968: Laurel Canyon Home/ The Bear
My introduction to the musician who was the dean of British blues who I followed until his retirement.
5. Long Time Coming - Electric Flag 1968: Texas / Killing Floor
When I heard Michael Bloomfield, and those horns! I was hooked!
6. Taj Mahal – Taj Mahal 1968: Statesboro Blues/ EZ Rider
Taj introduced so many styles of music for me and Jesse Ed’s guitar was so under rated.
7. Appaloosa – Appaloosa 1969: Tulu Rogers/ Rosalie
This young group was completely the opposite of the current trend in music of the day, and Al Kooper raised the bar to a whole other level.
8. Indianola Mississippi Seeds - B. B. King 1970: King’s Special/ Hummingbird
Not the first B. B. album I’d listened to, but it really brought blues into the rock realm for me.
9. Leon Russell – Leon Russell 1970: Hummingbird/ A Song For You
When you have the line up on your debt album how can it not be great, it really started my appreciation of keyboard artists including Al Kooper, Ian McLagan, and more.
10. Wet Willie 1972 – Shout Bam A Lama/Airport
We partied hard in College and Southern rock and album oriented rock rule the college radio station, but none of them rocked as hard as the Halls and Wet Willie!
11. With Link Wray - Robert Gordon1977: Red Hot/ Flying Saucer Rock and Roll This album saved me from the disco era and the love of Rock-A-Billy continues today with artists like Ronnie Dawson, Stray Cats, Deke Dickerson, Jimmie Dale Richardson, and others.
