"As I’m sitting here on Halloween Day 2023 listening to JB Barton’s “Halloween New Orleans” from his new album release, All I Ever Wanted, I’m half way through a third listening of his collection of original songs. By now, hook, line and sinker, I’m mesmerized with his silky smooth tenor voice and his ability to write effectively all around an idea with popular appeal, sincerity and depth...all in the same breath.

JB Barton’s broadband of roots music is impressively wide and deep. From music of the Caribbean, to Cajun to California Country and beyond…his knowledge and love of cultural diversity comes through, even in this decidedly Country inspired release. The album deserves your attention and, as it might find itself in rapid rotation in your playlist, I have found the freshness of JB’s artistry is, at least for now, All I Ever Wanted."

"JB Barton is the real deal. He is authentic and rooted in tradition, but innovates just enough to make this music his own. JB's music continues to make Southern California proud. I can't wait to see the success of this album."

-Kenny Feinstein

(Water Tower & Wildwood Flower Radio Hour)

"This album is hard to listen to…..without tapping your toes or shaking your ass.

Infectious rhythms that WILL FILL the dance floors. When JB sings about a “short bed Chevy” I do believe that he knows the correct spark plug gap for a 283 Chevy. (.035)

I don’t know if JB is a coonass or not…..but he sure sounds like one to me, and I like that."
