REVIEWS

Looking for a Novel
author: D and M Music
Alan Barrington has the ability to capture moments in time and then paint them on a canvas of notes and chords makes his new CD a great addition to any collection. Perhaps one of the best crafted songs on an album full of great selections is "Circle of Gold". This outstanding song is filled not only with the imagery Barrington is known for, but also the tenderness and understanding of relationships. This could easily become a standard at weddings as well as a favorite with romantics everywhere. D and M Music believes fans of folk, easy listening, and pop genres will enjoy Barrington's music.
