Important note (1): this is a 2-disc CD & DVD collection!! Both the CD and the DVD are from the same recording session (2 live shows). Some tracks overlap - but there are tracks on the CD that are not on the DVD and vice-versa. The running time of the DVD is 65 minutes! You can view a trailer for the DVD on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71n3HkS6jpw Important note (2): this is a soft sleeve release, so make sure to choose the "NO PLASTIC option." There is no plastic case with this release so you're entitled to profit from the cheaper shipping option. Barry is currently running a week by week background blog on all the songs on the DVD. You can find his blogs here; www.barrymccabe.com/blog. Each blog also links to a YouTube clip, so you can actually watch the song as well. There is also a Facebook page set up especially for Troubadour. If you wish to interact with Barry (ask questions, etc.) you can do so via this page. You can find it here; https://www.facebook.com/troubadourbarrymccabe Don't forget to ' like' the page while you're there! "You don't make music...music finds you. Your job is to practice to get yourself ready." It is a real thrill to finally get to record an album of acoustic music. I've been meaning to do it for years. The funny thing is I'm only returning some of these songs to their original state because I often write my songs on an acoustic guitar. I decided to include some songs from other writers too because they are songs that have touched me in some way over the years. I sincerely hope you get as much pleasure listening to them as I got from singing and playing them and as always, I am truly grateful for the opportunities life has presented me with through the medium called ‘music'. "I have to say there is a maturity and a richness to Barry's voice now that gives the songs a strength and a 'truth' that is stamped deep into the performances...that makes them REAL...and all coming from an artist that knows exactly where he is, and what he is, in relation to his art" - PJ Curtis
