Bill Barwick has The Cowboy Voice - rich, soothing and cavernous, custom-made for crooning cowboy "windies" (tall tales) around a crackling campfire on the open
range, accompanied by a lone acoustic guitar and maybe a distant coyote chorus. The Denver-based singer was twice nominated as the "Cowboy Music Vocalist of the
Year," and performs regularly at Winfield's Walnut Valley Festival (he also emcees), and the Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Arvada Colorado. His fourth
album, …Sometime…, is a response to the many fans who've said, "Sometime…you ought'a do an album by yourself, just you pickin' the guitar and your voice…"
Barwick obliges those folks with 15 endearing cowboy tunes penned by the likes of Michael Fleming, Baxter Black, Dan Seals, Bill Staines, and Merle Travis.
Self-accompanied on his 410, Barwick recorded it live with no overdubs, keeping it relaxed and simple (real cowboys don't need multi-track layering). In his
liner notes, he also invites pickers to "sit in," and notes each song's key for reference. Even if you haven't heard Barwick sing, you may have heard his voice:
he's a prolific voiceover artist whose work has aired on Encore's Western Channel and Re/Max Satellite Network's news programs; he records industrial narration
for a long list of corporate clients; and he's done scores of local radio and TV commercials for American Airlines, Ford, Minolta, and Coors, among others. And
if you've been to Denver International Airport lately, you may recognize the voice of the life-sized talking/singing buffalo head in one of the shops.
When he's not rambling between venues on the cowboy entertainment circuit, Barwick is a mainstay at Denver's famed cowboy venue, the Buckhorn Exchange restaurant,
where he shares the stage with autoharp player Roz Brown.
"With this album…you get just Bill Barwick, the consumate picker with his characteristic 'built-in subwoofer' voice…all recorded live and effortlessly. An intimate and honest album."
— Jim Ratts, engineer, Raven Recording
