Since 2002, Barton Carroll has toured and recorded extensively with Crooked Fingers and Eric Bachmann, playing guitar, steel guitar, and upright bass. Carroll has also toured, playing various instruments with Azure Ray, Dolorean, and Micah P. Hinson.

In 2006 Carroll released his second solo effort, “Love and War,” on Skybucket Records. “Love and War” received much critical acclaim in music journals such as Harp, No Depression, The Big Takeover, and many others.

“There’s a timelessness to the ten performances on Barton Carroll’s second album. They exude depth of character, passion and commitment. His songs have a literary bearing that puts him in the ranks of Paul Kelly, Nick Cave and Greg Brown…..’Small Thing’ is the sort of song a career can be built upon.”
