For the second album "The Blacktop Road" Nick strengthened his work with Tommy Mandel, who provided a fuller sound with keyboard and backing. Now with the release of "Throwin Stones" the direction is much clearer, each track has been written and crafted to get the "feel" just right, Nick has honed his collaboration with Tommy Mandel and at the same time avoided over production. Each song on "Throwin Stones" is a personal story, some of day's long ago remembered like the title track, others of more recent events in Nicks life. My personal highlight is to be found in the second mix of Throwin Stones, just Nick's vocal and acoustic guitar, with Ian Cutler on fiddle. So if you can spare an hour then I recommend that you take a listen to "Throwin Stones" by Nick Barnes. Les antink - N.M.S. July 2008
