Randy Wiley

Evan Barber

While he may not be a household name at present, Evan Barber is no stranger to the Americana/roots music scene in the south. The Albany, Georgia native has been writing, recording, and touring across his native territory for the better part of the past decade. He’s cut his teeth sharing the stage with the likes of Chris Stapleton, Blackberry Smoke, Jason Isbell, and the Drive-by Truckers — just to name a few. His songs are sketches of the American South; honest-to-goodness stories lifted from the prairies situated below the heart of Appalachia. Barber’s latest offering Until The Thunder plays out like a daydream on the front porch swing after an evening spent under the stars, reminiscing about what has passed and pondering what is yet to come. Guitars awash in reverb blend with Barber’s warm, crooning vocals to offer a unique listening experience, something that wouldn’t be unfairly labeled as country/folk-tinged Explosions in the Sky at times. It’s southern comfort amidst southern struggle; finding a warmth in the cold. Speaking of southern, Barber points to the “duality of the Southern Thing” — Patterson Hood’s apt moniker for reckoning with the region’s dark past while simultaneously celebrating the area’s progress and inherent pride — as an inspiration for his writing. He comes by it honestly; as a lifelong Georgia resident, he’s seen and fully lived both the beauty and the shame associated with the Southern Thing. Until The Thunder draws heavily from his upbringing as well as road-worn experiences from time spent touring with his band, the Dead Gamblers. These songs are truly from the heart; his heart being that of a lifelong Southerner. “Tape” opens the record, an ethereal road song about facing the pain of temporary love. “N. Florida” evokes the road in a different way; memories of childhood trips counting cows to pass the time. Songs like “Walking” and “Jesus & The Kid” lean into more traditional folk territory, both vibrant character sketches showcasing songwriting influences from genre legends Townes Van Zandt and John Prine. Until The Thunder marks Barber’s first proper “solo” release, as his previous offerings Bronze (2014) and Evan Barber and the Dead Gamblers (2010) were both written and recorded specifically as Dead Gambler albums. Prior to now, the songs were honed on the road for months prior to being recorded, something that wasn’t possible after March 2020. “Those songs were always written with the band in mind and were road tested therefore evolved into what they were so 99% of the time that’s exactly what came through in the studio,” Barber notes. “Whereas the songs for the new record are from a way more personal frame of mind…these songs represent an almost entirely new style of songwriting for me, which allows the end result to be completely honest and meaningful in ways I feel like I’ve fallen short of expressing in the past. I felt that I finally had the freedom to write and express exactly what was on my mind.” Taking the “live in a room” approach to recording also lent itself to a vibe not necessarily found on Barber’s previous efforts. The tracks were cut swiftly, with any slight imperfections allowed to remain — focusing more on capturing the energy of the moment versus polishing and re-cutting over and over again. This isn’t to say the record lacks polish, but rather that it presents a warmth not found in the litany of over-produced releases constantly flooding the airwaves.
