Guitar-slinger Casey Barnes talks about a chance meeting with Rick Price, getting the Obamas to hear his new single, obsessing over iTunes charts, and his diverse new album.

Formerly at the top end of Australian Idol, Barnes has forged an impressive independent path by touring relentlessly, and keeping his mind open to new sounds. That manifests on his latest album Jet Trails, which switches from danceable pop to trad country to beachy acoustica to hard rockers.

Barnes tells us about the diversity of tunes, the accidental meeting with Rick Price in Nashville that led to single ‘Michelle’, trying to get the Obamas to hear the song, watching his album scale the iTunes charts, testing out his vocal chops and much more.

Before I start, please refer back to my Richard Marx review of 2016. It is no accident Richard Marx performs great concerts. The structure of his songs is faultless. He writes his songs, he sings the songs, he produces the songs, he performs the songs. You cannot get more real than Richard Marx. There are no smoke and mirrors. Richard is driving this Marx bus.
