Here we have another live album from Darrell. It contains most of his favourites that we see pop up on most of his later live work. Half the album was recorded in Los Angeles and half in Holland with 2 different bands not that you can really tell. Anyway I don’t have much more to say as there are plenty of live Darrell recordings and they are all excellent.
Tracklist 1 – Let’s Work Together – 4:08 2 – There’s Gotta Be A Change – 5:39 3 – Tell The Truth – 5:21 4 – Walk With Me Jesus – 5:35 5 – The Mission – 4:45 6 – Nobody But You Lord – 4:53 7 – Boom Boom – 7:12 8 – Stand By Me – 9:05 9 – Time To Go – 9:18 10 – People Get Ready – 7:10 11 – Swing Low, Sweet Chariot – 7:12
The metal decade gave us a lot of gems and Barnabas is one of them. This is the band’s second album, much more refined than their first. From day one the band showed potential, and with this release the production quality shot up dramatically. Nancy Jo Mann’s solid vocals shout out over some hard marching guitar riffs and a tight band. Even on “If Love Brings Love” with a piano part that would be Layla’s little cousin, the driving guitars won’t let you forget where you are and what decade this is.
This is the 2000 remaster by Rev Hillstrom at Creation Station Studios, Robinsdale, Minnesota. It includes a bonus track “All Alone” which was originally recorded for this album but record company politics kept it off the album at the time.
Tracklist 1 – No Freedom – 4:37 2 – Stormclouds – 4:43 3 – If Love Brings Love – 4:12 4 – Waiting For The Aliens – 6:21 5 – Warrior – 4:01 6 – Never Felt Better – 3:26 7 – Subterfuge – 5:59 8 – Crucifixion – 5:52 9 – All Alone – 5:45

This 2000 release of Barnabas artifacts and relics is just fantastic. It has 5 unreleased tracks and a 24 minute recording of a rehearsal. The lead track (Batter Up) really should have been on an album, it’s actually one of my favourite Barnabas tracks now. The other new tracks are good though I have to say that Shauna Marie may actually be a lullaby. The 24 minute rehearsal track is an absolute gem. It gives us a bit of a candid view (listen) of the band. Much discussion of coffee just made me feel like I was there. Just an excellent release here.

Recorded at the 2000 Cornerstone Festival Daniel Amos nailed this concert. They played over 2 hrs and this album is a reflection of that concert. It has a nice selection of their songs but it would have been nice to hear some more of their early stuff. I don’t feel the album was very well engineered but it is what it is. Again a must have for any Daniel Amos fan.
