Flesh and Bone is the New Album from Barney Bentall

Barney Bentall has released a new album called Flesh and Bone. His cross-style genre includes bits of folk, country, and roots rock. Bentall was born in Toronto and formed a Vancouver-based group called The Legendary Hearts. Their self-titled, Bob Rock produced album in 1987 went platinum, helped no doubt by Top 20 hit “Something to Live For”. In 1989, they won the JUNO for Most Promising Group of the Year. A couple more hits followed in the 90s: “Crime Against Love” and “I’m Shattered”. Their last album was released in 1997 and Bentall decided to start a cattle ranch in BC. After nearly a decade, he began itching to get back into music and released his first solo album in 2006. Flesh and Bone is his 4th solo studio album, and it sounds like he had a blast making it. Even those not normally taken by the rootsy stuff will find this a treat. The music is very well constructed and you also get drawn into the lyrics as they tell interesting stories about life in Canada.
