“I’m silver, not gold; feminine, not frilly; a combination of Ginger and MaryAnn, and full of a deep sense of gratitude,” Barbara declares in an interview about her debut album, “Ample Patience.” With this CD, Barbara offers a simmering blend of original blues, country, jazz, and folk-rock. Her music radiates the confidence of a strong woman and the passion of a born storyteller.
“A bluesy, rootsy orientation is enhanced by the beautiful and sensitive production by Tom Prasada-Rao and Steve Young. They have captured Barbara's unpretentious, warm voice perfectly. A good listen.” - Kenny Edwards (founding/original member of The Stone Poneys).
Garriel’s songwriting explores an intelligent and refreshing musical blend of modern blues, ballads, country, and folk-rock, and her original music and heartfelt lyrics speak to anyone with a zest for life. “Ample Patience” features songs about yearning and desire, freedom and friendship, betrayal and found love and is a collection that’s been called “gutsy, gritty, sexy, vibrant mixture of piercingly honest music” (Alan Haynes, singer-songwriter) and “sweet, with a bit of an edge that is strangely reminiscent of something from long ago” (Laundry Room Music).
Track 4, “Too Late For That Now” was selected as one of three finalists (and grand prize winner) in the R&B category of the international John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Jeffrey Barnes, member of the Grammy Award-winning band, “Brave Combo”, shared his talents on clarinet, sax, harmonica, and flute. Singer-songwriter, Cary Cooper, can be heard on harmony vocals on “Lock, Stock, and Barrel.”
While Barbara’s musical influences are many (from Carole King to Stevie Ray Vaughn, Gershwin to Joplin, Mary Travers and Kim Carnes) her gutsy, sensual style remains her own. Her vocals have been compared to Laura Nyro, Bonnie Raitt, Norah Jones, and Tracy Chapman.
“Barbara Garriel possesses a voice that is as rich and sensuous as red velvet. She is the girl-next-door dressed in the finest black leather. Her well-crafted songs reflect a warm and spirited soul who is feisty, flirty, and fun-loving, all at the same time.” (Kathy Moran, singer-songwriter)
