Artist description LeNor Barry is a singular female vocalist phenomenon.Don't just Download! buy the CD and support LeNor! Sometimes a haunting experience in a dream is the source of an entire song with lyrics and music. Actually it happens very often, but my ability to pull these songs out of dreams into something tangible in this dimension is still limited. My emotions are ahead of my intellect by miles. This is why the medium of music is so perfect for me, emotion relates, emotion tells, emotion surpasses intellect it reaches out and grabs and touches and people understand it. All of my music is laced with the experiences of a life full of struggle, and accomplishment. Well as you know human life is a dream like any other dream... and anything can happen.

Artist History We moved all over the country along route 66, we only stayed in One place for about 6 months at a time. I had 5 brothers, 4 younger than me and one Older , my Dad, rigged the pick-up truck with beds and a car seat that looked out the back, so we could see the place we were leaving behind. There was one place we kept going back to, it was Amarillo Texas, periodically ( I now assume that it was when times were bad ), we would stay with a very Old Woman, she had big bags under her eyes, and she looked 100 years old when I was only eight. Well I found out she only recently died, and that she was actually my step fathers step mother. I wrote a song about her, The Bag Lady Of Amarillo. My Mother, who had worked in New York as a Vocalist taught me to sing and perform when I was a baby. She encouraged me to make up my own songs. If I could entertain her adequately I always got away with more. I spent 1980-1990 in Los Angeles, where I was in a band and pressed a 45. I began to take Guitar Seriously in 1995 and Moved to Minneapolis where I now Record, Perform, and continue on good days to write music. I have done well producing my own tapes in Minneapolis since '95, I have managed to Sell many tapes, performing only, when I feel like playing.

Press Reviews --------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Pulse of the Twin Cities by Publisher Ed Felien "Turn it up! Be sure you listen well. Did you think all the folksingers with anything to say went away with the flowers and patchouli oil? LeNor Barry takes the simple things in life and gives them poetry, and she takes the complicated convolutions of your mind and makes them simple: 'It's too late to tell my mother, no use to tell my brother, And when I seek a therapist, I get a healer with a twist.' She has one of the richest and strongest voices around here, and she plays a very mean 12 string guitar. She is worth listening to, worth adding to your collection, worth taking seriously." A Review by Ben Ohmart from the muses muse Interesting title. Could it be that if you wait long enough for the bad news in your life will turn funny? I hope so. Something to look forward to it. Got This 47 minute CDR in the mail, and the 17 songs are good folk stuff. I have no lyrics to quote, but take my word for it, there are pleasant tunes right here. She sounds like Jewel might sound in 10 years, and with just voice and guitar, this becomes a very free, personal album that is almost so close to the artist, sometimes you wonder if we listeners should BE here. She IS damn good, so contact her about buying a cd You wont be dissapointed! Mystery Reviewer Mpls. Mystery Reviewer This performance review is from someone who did not Identify himself to me " She joked about being discovered at Kieran's. So I sat there and discovered her, appreciating the irony, of all the artists who can't see it coming, and knowing full well that it is she who must discover herself. So you sit through all the selfish and self-indulgent. Stay on awhile to see if she'll sing. Waiting for the voice you notice the eyes. Catch a glimpse of attitude beneath a dusky laugh. At last, a song. A sephardic-eyed storyteller singing secrets out. Soulful. Smoldering. Penetrating. Torch-folk.It is a voice worthy of such truths. Sing on!

Hello LeNor, how are you ? I received your package safe and well yesterday. I have listened to it, and I must say I like it a Lot! You got a pretty high voice, but it fits perfectly with the songs you bring. There are no weak places on the cd. Every song is strong enough to be heard or played! My absolute favorites are the title track and the 4 or 5 songs coming after it, even the sometimes long instrumental parts in some songs are great! The creme de la creme on your cd is the heavenly sounded guitar, beautiful that guitar sound! I start playing your cd in my show on thursday. LeNor you did a great job!
