Avery County, I'm Bound to You by Barton Carroll Vinyl LP New and Sealed!!!
"The world of fiction is a wonderful place. And on my previous albums I definitely prescribed to the notion that fiction is the only place where you can tell the truth: what Werner Herzog calls “The ecstatic truth.” The truth of narrative, rather than the lifeless quality of facts and data. So far it has made me feel a lot more free at the writing table (not to mention with questions like, “So who was that song about?”).
"But my method changed with this record. And while I would still insist that the stories and details are too nebulous to be literal, the title of the album is Avery County, I’m Bound To You. And I did indeed grow up in Avery County, North Carolina. And I do indeed feel bound to that place. 
"Perhaps I’m going through a mid-life crisis. Actually, I’m sure of it. It’s so damned scary when you get your first glimpse of the end of the road that you tend to look back hard at the journey so far. As much as I’ve resisted writing autobiographically on my previous work, I just couldn’t get around it on this album. I didn’t even try. So these songs are reflections of an upbringing in the Appalachian Mountains seen through the lens of several years of city life on the West Coast. Like when Tom Waits sings, “I never saw the East Coast until I moved to the West.”
"My musical memories always echo with Doc Watson, Ralph Stanley and other Old Time voices. But while working on the songs for Avery County, I’m Bound To You, I had records by Bad Religion and The Jam on the turntable and in my headphones. Bad Religion for directness, clarity and boldness of language, and The Jam for regional loyalty, passion and unashamed use of dialect. Those guys put the vocals up front and sing it like they mean business. It’s something I think they have in common with folk music.
"Literature is also a big influence. After the long, blank-page sessions waiting for the lyric-muse to make an appearance, I would read Nabokov, Martin Amis, Saul Bellow, and Norman Mailer. Authors who can stretch words to the edge of their meaning. I did my best to channel them on songs like “The Straight Mile” and “Laveda.” I re-read “To Kill A Mockingbird” and studied Harper Lee’s unique voice for “Mama’s Making Something On The Loom.” 
"The music on “Avery County, I’m Bound To You” was played by a fantastic and diverse group of characters. The rhythm section is Matt Weiner (Blue4Trio, Hot Club Of Cowtown) on upright and electric bass and Dan Peters (Mudhoney, Screaming Trees, Nirvana - briefly) on drums.
"The horn and woodwind section were made up of Hans Teuber (Bill Frisell, Wayne Horvitz, Ani Difranco) and Steve Moore (Jim White, Earth, sunn0))), Laura Veirs). These two multi-instrumentalists covered a lot of sonic territory with flute, piccolo, alto flute, clarinet, trombone, Wurlitzer and Hammond Organ.
"And we did our best to keep our roots with a few local Folk and Old Time players: Charlie Beck on banjo, Nova Devonie on accordion, and Jakob Breitbach on fiddle. The production team was veteran producer Martin Feveyear (Mark Lanegan, Jesse Sykes, Hey Marseilles, Mudhoney, etc) and Matt Weiner who produced my 2010 release, Together You and I." - Barton Carroll
"Barton Carroll crafts hardscrabble folk music populated with emotionally haunted souls. In a plaintive voice recalling Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Freedy Johnston, Carroll sings about world-worn characters struggling to survive but not surrendering...Carroll’s sharp-eyed, unflinching story-songs serve to separate him from the troubadour pack." – American Songwriter
