Tim Barry’s last record was arguably one of the best records of 2008/09. It’s simple honesty in both its music and lyrics made it a staple here at casa Songs:Illinois. I expect the same from the new record. It’s titled 28th and Stonewall and is due out this week on Suburban Home.
Ninebullets.net has been all over this record with weekly updates, videos, and podcasts but as far as I can tell this is the first post with an mp3 from the new record. Still for all things Tim Barry check out Ninebullets. “Thing of the Past” is just what you’d expect from Barry; its got his bitter anti-consumption, populist angst, as well as his coarse blue collar persona. I love it.
