Barton Carroll is the poetic voice behind earnest tunes reflecting life experiences and narrative fiction in all four of his works to date. The stories told in his latest album, Avery County, I’m Bound To You, are equally as thought provoking and twice as personal. The record takes a look back at Carroll’s life growing up in Avery County, North Carolina, and unfolds a more autobiographical facet not previously explored. In the first three minutes, Carroll does what some musicians can’t with 30: enticing the listener with intrigue and personality, keeping them from ever pressing the pause or replay button. Opening track “The Straight Mile” paints a picture with words of what is surely the namesake county, in explicit detail that handsomely draws the outline for the story being told.
