TALL TALES AND ALIBIS - reviews!

Popdose

"A writer like Steve Barton isn’t around for 30-plus years because he has nothing better to do – it’s because he can still offer something meaningful and uplifting (even among the more restrained moments).  So make a note to seek out, purchase and envelope yourself in Tall Tales & Alibis.  It will be time well spent." READ MORE...

 Stereo Embers Magazine

"A stunningly coherent 3-disc set that lays out an artist’s worldview that’s not only reflective of his vast past experience as an essential player in the by-now-accepted genre of indie Americana (in his case with a touch of San Franciscan post-punk nous) but as well his recent move to Portland OR – check out the rain-soaked acoustica of opener How Can I Believe..."  READ MORE...

Imperfect Fifth

"The entire album is loaded with actual storytelling style songs that do not skimp on originality or brilliance."  READ MORE...

Trunk Space Magazine

"On Tall Tales and Alibis he’s combining his musical experience with life experience, punching his prolific songwriting into overdrive and delivering what could possibly be the most ambitious offering of the year." READ MORE...

 Cryptic Rock Magazine

"A grand masterpiece" READ MORE...

Jersey Beat Magazine (several reviews in this article - Tall Tales And Alibis is number 12)

"Steve Barton has been a revered player for decades, and while I suggest checking out all three of these releases, any of the components of Tall Tales and Alibis is enough to solidify Barton’s legacy."  READ MORE...

The Morton Report 

"Steve Barton—best known as cofounder of the San Francisco band Translator—makes a strong impression with the massive (three-CD) Tall Tales and Alibis..."  READ MORE...

 Schizo Musica

"Along the way, there are flashes of fabulous pop-rock: Beatles, XTC, Robyn Hitchcock, Guided By Voices, Cheap Trick" READ MORE...

Willamette Week  

Portland Oregon's weekly paper has a feature story on the new triple album, and a lovely "welcome to Portland, Steve" vibe to the article! The headline screams "Steve Barton Is The Alt-Rock Cult Hero Portland Never Knew It Had" READ MORE...
