Story behind the song
BARRY McLOUGHLIN is recognized on the singer/songwriter scene as a compelling man of words with a charming narrative voice. This Dublin, Ireland born and Canadian raised troubadour resides in Sioux Lookout, North Ontario. His narrative tributes stir the spirit, beckoning ballads still the heart, and landscape portraits capture the wonder of it all. An impressive variety of tracks from McLoughlin's debut "Pieces" CD (2004) received radio airplay in 18 countries. The entire collection of 14 original tracks received 5 STAR acclaim from Roots Music Report, Texas. 2008 WINDSWEPT McLoughlin's anticipated "Windswept" CD has arrived. His pre-release single "Christmas Carol" (Dec '07) received holiday season airplay across Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Holland, Italy, the Netherlands and the USA. The seasonal ballad hit the monthly TOP 5 for Canadian airplay on Richard Gillmann's International Folk-DJ List ranking between songs from Joni Mitchell and Bruce Cockburn. McLoughlin's haunting tributes to Lieutenant General Romeo D'Allaire and the missing young women along Northern British Columbia's "Highway of Tears" evoke the spirits of silenced angels. His signature voice and romantic ballads probe the recesses of our fragile human relationships. Title track "Windswept" sets the tone, "Canada" transports the listener across the country, "Met on the Internet" brightens the day, and "Harry" commemorates Mr. Chapin.
