2021 - His new album, titled “+1” follows up on his “Portraits In Fiddles” which was nominated for a GRAMMY Award in 2018. +1 has been four years in the making and features Eddie Barbash, Maeve Gilchris, Alex Hargreaves, Sierra Hull, Sarah Jarosz, Dominick Leslie, Ricky Skaggs, Nat Smith and Molly Tuttle. While this new release may not be in the same maverick territory of The Deadly Gentlemen, there is no shortage of breadth to its coverage ranging from traditional American tunes to newgrass with elements of Celtic music, pop and jazz-tinged improvisation thrown in for good measure. Barnett steht auf den Schultern der Fiddle-Innovatoren Darol Anger, Stuart Duncan und Mark O'Connor und ist bereit, sich als einer der größten Visionäre seiner Generation auf der Fiddle zu etablieren.

2002 - Three things give this release a lot more strength and impact than their previous Sugar Hill album. The strong lead singing of new member Junior Sisk, a good selection of songs, and the wonderful fiddling of quest Ronnie Stewart. Building around the always excellent playing of Terry Baucom on banjo and Alan Bibey on mandolin, the group really rises to its potential on the 13 cuts heard here. Solid from start to finish, this is a fine album of solid, hard-driving North Carolina style Bluegrass.

2017 - Terry Baucom has always had good taste when it comes to the music his bands release, and without even listening to the first song, you know you’ll get driving music in a traditional-leaning style. Fourth and Goal is no different. The Dukes of Drive prove themselves to be a tight band with particularly strong vocal abilities who know a well-written song when they see one...with Joey Hannabach, Shawn Lane and others  ​

2016 - …. Led by the husband & wife team of Tommy and Teresa Sells, this excellent band is another product of the rich musical tradition found in Southwestern Virginia. While they do not travel extensively (in order to hold down other jobs and professions), they are this year celebrating 30 years as a band. They have a history of finding good songs from the past, and perform them in a dynamic manner, taking advantage of Teresa’s distinctive high voice. A nice feature here is a listing of many of the other artists who have been members of this band over the years, these include Udell McPeak, Jeff Michael, Jimmy Trivette, Don Rigsby, Billy Hawks, Johnny Williams, Lynwood Lunsford and the late James King. Currently the lead singer with the group is Eddie Gill, who does an excellent job on the vocals. Two of the dozen songs here were penned by Tom T. Hall and the late Dixie Hall, their songs always seem like naturals for the Big Country style and sound. And the group has revitalized YOUR SWEET LOVING MAN, a song from the 1950s that was popularized by the regional duet Bill and Mary Reid. IF I EVER GET HOME, DETROIT BLUES, THE OLD CROOKED TRAIL, FLOWERS ON DADDY’S GRAVE, ME AND BECKY, YES I SEE GOD, BURN THE BARN, etc.
