Review by Adi Doyle

Delbert Barker's latest album No Good Robin Hood has been making waves in the country music scene. The album features 10 tracks that showcase Barker's unique style and storytelling abilities.

From the opening track "Outlaw Blues" to the closing song "The Devil's Own", No Good Robin Hood takes listeners on a journey through Barker's life experiences and observations. His lyrics are honest and raw, and his voice is filled with emotion.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Broken Bottles". The song tells the story of a man who is struggling with addiction and trying to pick up the pieces of his life. Barker's vocals are haunting and the instrumentation perfectly complements the lyrics.

Another highlight of the album is "No Good Robin Hood". The title track is a catchy, upbeat tune that tells the story of a modern-day Robin Hood who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. The song is sure to get listeners tapping their feet and singing along.

About Delbert Barker

Delbert Barker was born in Frenchburg, Kentucky on 3rd December 1932. Came to Middletown, Ohio in 1943. He appeared in amateur contests and by 1951 was appearing on WCPO-TV on a noon- time show, which also included the Davis Sisters. Because of this TV exposure, Carl Burkhardt hired him to record cover or soundalike records on his Rite Record labels which included Kentucky, Gateway, Big 4, Big 6, and others. He recorded under various names, covering the hits of the day by Carl Smith, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, and other artists. Collectors from overseas became fascinated with his prolific output and dubbed him King of the Covers. After his days with Rite, he made one record for a New York City label, Garnett Folk Records, in1954. In 1956, he signed with King Records in Cincinnati and had four records released which were mainstream country rather than covers. One of these became a darling of rockabilly collectors and, at one time, was commanding big money. In 1958, he worked for Shorty and Smokey Warren in New Jersey. In 1959, he came back to Middletown and, in 1960, he left the music business and went into law enforcement in Middletown, rising to the rank of lieutenant in charge of detectives. He continued to play music in his spare time, singing and playing both guitar and steel guitar. He wrote a song, You Almost Slipped My Mind, originally recorded by Kenny Price but later picked up by Charley Pride, who took it to #1 on the country charts. After his retirement from the police department, he became a partner in Central Recording Studio in Middletown and started the Central record label which issued custom records by local country, bluegrass, and gospel artists. In the mid 2000s, he was performing on the Midwest Opry in New Paris. Later, he was making guest appearances at various small opry-type shows in the local area.

I like the song, but the phrasing is so awkward, the stumble over ".. my baby's yours." always makes me smile. Why didn't they do another take?
