"Looking for a Novel" by Alan Barrington (Modern Folk/Folk-Blues artist from South Carolina (SC))

"Looking for a Novel" by masterful story-teller Alan Barrington is a heart-warming collection of bluesy modern folk tunes. One of the most striking elements of "Looking for a Novel" is the fact that its lyrics read like a best-selling novel! Tales of everyday experiences and love-searching are told in the most compelling way possible – poetic passion. What's more, Alan Barrington's strong, controlled, and affectionate vocals are perfect for this genre. "Better than a Week in the Country" veers to a country rock sound that is delightfully energetic and hook-ridden – showing off Alan's diversity. "You Believed in Me" stands out as an emotion-provoking modern folk song that is spiritually enlightening. Moreover, the production of "Looking for a Novel" successfully turns these story-book tales into country hits! Fans of James Taylor and Lyle Lovett will find a new modern folk home in these delightful tunes!

The songwriting on "Flying High" consistently demonstrates great talent, tackling the classic themes of life and love on the road.
