Catalog - Bill & Barry-HEARTFELT

Where Big Ideas Go In Little Circles

Catalog #BB 107

Digital Remixes of Recordings by Bill Kern & Barry Knoedl recorded between 1981 - 1982.

1981 and 1982 was probably the most prolific period for Bill Kern and Barry Knoedl. Within this 2 year period, Bill & Barry recorded 40 songs, including 32 originals. In addition, they produced almost 60 songs by Jimi Lalumia & The Psychotic Frogs, The Noogs, John Sheridan, Dwight Hobbes, Fran Parker, and a few others. Many of Dwight Hobbes songs were co-compositions by Dwight and either Bill or Barry, and all of Fran's songs were originals by Bill or Barry.

Bill, Barry, and Ralph were in the studio at least 2 days a week over this 2 year period, working on Bill & Barry material. Even major artists are not afforded the amount of studio time that they logged at this time.

Just about all of these tracks began with just Bill playing drums, and Barry playing bass. There are a few exceptions. Sometimes Barry would start on piano with drums, and Bill would overdub the bass. Bill & Barry later did all the vocals, and brought in Thorne and Ray Knoedl to finish off the tracks with some great guitar work, or Jimmy Yaeger for some sythesizer sounds.

We are proud to present the third volume of remastered and remixed recordings by Bill Kern and Barry Knoedl. - HEARTFELT
