Chicken in the Window

Chicken in the Window is the fourth full-length studio album by Ontario bluegrass/folk band, The Barrel Boys. Recorded at Ganaraska Recording Company by renowned musician and studio whiz Jim Bowskill, and mixed by Jim along with Canadian blues icon, Steve Marriner, the album is brimming with brand new material from the band, including the group's first ever co-writes in Lonely Company and Train Town. This record is typical of The Barrel Boys in that there is huge stylistic variety from song to song on account of the band's different writers, lead singers, instrumentation, and even vocal stacks and textures. A great deal of intentionality and detail went into the arrangements on this album, and there is certainly some creative risk-taking in there, perhaps more than in works past. Nonetheless, the album is steeped as ever in The Barrel Boys' distinct sound.
