James Barber writes everything on Reckless Country Soul, including this profile.

A huge chunk of my record collection is hopelessly out of print. Music that I’ve always taken for granted (everything from private-press 45s to major-label albums with videos on MTV) has disappeared from stores and there’s almost no information about it online. I’m trying to make a document of the bands I’ve known and the shows I’ve seen.

I’ve worked in music since I was 18 years old. You can read about some of the things I’ve done here in this interview copied from the old Poptones website. If you want to see my producer page, it’s here on MySpace.

You may see me credited on old records as “Jim Barber,” but something about this guy convinced me I should use the name on my birth certificate instead.
