Barry Thomas Goldberg – Mapleton Memoir
Barry
Thomas Goldberg is a Minnesota music veteran who began his career
as a local songwriter. He is best known for penning the tune "Twenty
Years Ago in Speedy's Kitchen" by T.C. Atlantic. Involved
with Dove Recording Studios in the 1960's, Goldberg joined the
ranks of local legends Arne Fogel, Gary Paulak, and Michael Yonkers.
In 2006, Goldberg helped with the release of Candy Floss: The
Lost Music of Mid America, a compilation of songs from Dove Studios
and that era. Since 1974, he has been recording and releasing
solo albums that highlight his outspoken political views and poetic
way with words. Goldberg's latest, Mapleton Memoir, is a musical
tribute to his late mother, who passed away in 2006. "I was
displeased with my prose writing [and] the obvious choice was
to write her memoir as a musical album," he says. The result
is a beautifully crafted, limited edition album that includes
a ten-page booklet of photos and lyrics, "tracing one family's
journey through time in pursuit of the elusive American dream."
Goldberg's sound has been compared to the likes of Bob Dylan (circa
1970), Woody Guthrie, and Tom Waits." |

Barry Thomas Goldberg
Mapleton Memoir
2007
HIJ Recordings
Barry Thomas Goldberg's first recording session was with his band
The Shambles at Dove Recording Studios in 1966. He went on to
write, record and release several singles with major labels, the
best known of which is Twenty Years Ago in Speedy's Kitchen. Later
in his career he formed the group The Batch. His solo career began
in 1974 with the album "Misty Flats," produced by Michael
Yonkers. He did two other solo albums, When the Night Comes (1983)
and Absolute Zero (1986). After 16 years, in 2002, he released
Empire Moon. Barry Thomas Goldberg has released five critically
acclaimed solo albums, including Empire Moon (2002), Cottonwood
( 2004), American Grotesque (2005), and The Last Guitar (2006).
He is also featured on the compilation: Candy Floss - The Lost
Music of Mid-America 1967-1969 (2006). Mapleton Memoir, his latest
album was released June 12, 2007. For further details, reviews
and free MP3's check out Barry's website, Ironweeds.com.
So reads the small but effective profile on Goldberg's MySpace
page—but that short run-down of his career and accomplishments
don't go much toward explaining Barry's Springsteen-meets-Jon-Dee-Graham
voice, his innate sense of patriotism, family, and universal love
and concern. Mapleton Memoir is as good a place as any to start
digging into this local legend's fantastic catalog of genuinely
diverse and eclectic musical styles, lyrical messages, and heart-felt
declarations.
A true-blue American from the bottom of his heart and a born romantic
in his soul, Goldberg consistently delivers delicious, mostly
(sadly) unnoticed contributions to the world around him, among
them albums like Mapleton Memoirs—which is chock full of
hard-hitting lines like this one from "Main Street,”
a stand-out among the 11 other excellent tracks on this album:
"Sweet redemption wants to dance/You don't ask why/The ferris
wheel and flashing light/The carnival of life...the clown found
salvation with the priest/It's the time between the wars, say
goodbye to peace/On Main Street." Superb stuff and highly
recommended. Check Barry out at www.myspace.com/BarryThomasGoldberg
or www.ironweeds.com Don't say I didn't tellya a couple dozen
times now!!
That's it for this time out, pals o' mine. Keep your shades on,
your feet on the ground and your dreams in the clouds- until we
meet again, make yer own damn news.

Jim Walsh,
writer for "The
Walsh Files: Jim Walsh's Weekly Mix Of Twenty Must Have Tunes"
in City pages
online, gives "The
Last Guitar" a
great review. Needless to say, we were pretty excited about Mr.
Walsh's comments! Here is part of it. For the full story follow
the above links or go to City
Pages Blogs.
1. "Remember New
Orleans," Barry Thomas Goldberg. I could have picked half
a dozen of the songs from cantankerous roots- rocker Goldberg's
latest The Last Guitar, but this one wails with an urgency that
suggests it was written in the same moment as Kanye West's infamous
blurt. ...

From the online magazine Fingertipsmusic.com,
January 22, 2006, Barry Thomas Goldberg now in
the Select Artists Guide —
Barry Thomas Goldberg NEW
The gruff but lovable Goldberg cuts an unusual 21st-century figure:
an old-school Midwestern rock'n'roller who has managed to maintain
a youthful sort of defiance and edginess; from the depths of his
vivid, cigarette-stained voice comes a sound you just don't hear
from the latest batch of Gang of Four wannabe's. Scroll down through
the site's willfully unpolished layout and you'll eventually come
across seven full-length MP3s. Included among them are two former
TWF picks, "American Grotesque" and "Remember New
Orleans"; the latest upload, "Visions and Dreams,"
from his new CD The Last Guitar, sounds like another winner. Thanks
to visitor Paul for cluing me in to Goldberg in the first place,
and keeping me posted on his comings and goings.
