Barrie – “Frankie”
I gave the Barrie album Barbara a listen due to its appearing on the WERS list of Our Favorite Local Albums of 2022 So Far… and “Frankie was the standout track. The danceable synthpop provides the bedrock for Barrie to ruminate on the evils of capitalism and draws inspiration from Glen Campbell’s “Wichita Lineman.”
