Barry James Payne & String Bone

“...'Wow! Oh Yeah' is awesome. Total departure from the country sound… like, Talking Heads meets Nashville….. love it. It feels like Once in a Lifetime (which is a good thing) and attempts to answer the same questions… decades later, as nothing changes.” - Matt Wannan, Aeolian Hall, London, ON, CANADA

“As soon as I hit the play button I felt like I was in the middle of the desert, I felt the heat of the Arizona’s sun, I searched for water under a Seguaro and I saw a scorpion hiding under a rock. I felt like a renegade running away from the police to find a new life in Mexico.” - E.A.Poets

“The outback, isolated swagger of this one immediately fills the room with a sense of drama and depth. The reverb-washed soundscape proves quickly hypnotic, giving off a drunken level of immersive escapism that’s lightly guided by the rasp and desperation of Payne’s cleanly cut, up front vocal. Feeling like a freshly composed addition to the Sons Of Anarchy soundtrack, Waitin’ For My Dyin’ Day has the workings of a timeless classic.” - Rebecca Cullen

“String Bone and musician/producer Jay Riehl, team up for the latest offering, a catchy tongue-in-cheek country-blues ditty great for dancin' in the kitchen while doing the dishes or the housework.”
