专辑简介
2010 release by banjo pioneer and visionary, Danny Barnes. The lead single, 'Overdue', features familiar background vocals by fan and friend, Dave Matthews, who is a champion of the project and releasing the John Alagia produced album on his label, ATO Records. Known early on for his work with the seminal Austin alternative country band, the Bad Livers, Barnes has developed a profile for himself as one of the most progressive and genre-bending artists of his craft. With Pizza Box, Barnes spins tales of American life like a latter-day John Steinbeck, wielding banjo and pen with equal effect, and the character of his voice as the perfect mouthpiece to truly bring these songs and stories to life. He tells tales with the wry wit and humor of Garrison Keillor, the lyrical eccentricities and intellect of Randy Newman, performed with the southern twang and swagger of Levon Helm. Barnes combines and blends all of these elements into a style that is uniquely his own.
Bluegrass is so rooted in folk traditions that it usually doesnt take
much to rock the boat. The progressive bluegrass movement takes the
styles and structures of the past and subverts them with rock & roll
spirit and a sometimes punk rock attitude.
Danny Barnes grew up in Texas, where he was raised on the music of
bluegrass pioneers Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, and Jimmie Rodgers. A
graduate of the University of Texas with a degree in audio engineering,
Barnes dedicated himself to traditional bluegrass playing, picking up
the banjo, and seeing where the instrument would lead him. In Barnes
case, the banjo led him to the Bad Livers, a progressive bluegrass band
formed in 1990 and likely to either offend or amaze fans of the genre.
Alongside bandmates Mark Rubin (on bass and tuba) and mandolin and
guitar player Bob Grant (who replaced fiddle player Ralph White), the
group is as comfortable on the punk circuit as it is on the folk
circuit.
But Barnes output extends well beyond that project. He frequently plays
with artists such as guitarist Bill Frisell, Dave Matthews and
keyboardist Wayne Horvitz, composed the score to Richard Linklaters The
Newton Boys and (with Frisell) the documentary American Hollow, and
appeared on too many commercials and sat in with too many bands to
mention. He has also released a handful of notable solo albums,
including 2010s genre-defying Pizza Box.
