Details:
"I'm totally hooked on the Barbara J.Hunt CD...".

âThis is sensuous, spiritual musicâ Malcolm G

âBarbara J Hunt, what a superb voice with hints of Joni Mitchell and some really top class original material and an especially good version of a song which was constructed around Amazing Grace - you have to hear itâ

âAmazing Grace.... a fusion of her own work and the original Amazing Grace which reminded me of Eva Cassidyâs Over The Rainbowâ¦. but better.â

âWow... a singer who can really sing.... very impressedâ

The three things Barbara is most often acknowledged for are her pure, lyrical voice, her idiosyncratic guitar style (often using open tunings) and her ability for her songs to âmove grown men to tears.â

Two of Barbaraâs songs were recently used in the 2006 British comedy movie âConfettiâ. Live performances of Barbaraâs songs, âKing Of My Heartâ and a snippet of âPlay My Heartâ, are the soundtrack to the naturist wedding scene.

"Her music captures her soul, it's so spiritual, magical - and Barbara just oozes with talent. I predict she is destined to be a major star." Bristol Evening Post

This is one very strong album, meticulous in every detail." Mike Scott

""More Rain"... Simply breathtaking." J Blurton

"Haunting songs and a glorious voice.." Bruton Arts

"I thought you were singing beatifully the other night. Your voice is gentle and you are able to give out a range of subtle expressions which affect a very emotional experience. I stopped dancing two years ago and swore I would never have anything to do with dance again. Your last song on Thursday (Amazing Grace) dare I say it actually made me want to dance again for a moment." T N-W

In Barbara's own words:

"The only thing that REALLY matters is that we wake up.

Meanwhile, you can see me performing my song "King Of My Heart" in the British comedy movie, "Confetti" (2006) during the naturist wedding scene.

I was once told, by a friend who was quoting some ancient wisdom, that in order to become a perfect painter, first you become perfect and then you just paint.

This is partly what's kept me so long. Plus I love making music so much, my painting gets neglected.

I write songs about what fascinates me: the mysteries of life, the universe and everything, love, sex, spirit, and chocolate, but not usually all in the same song and actually, I haven't written anything about chocolate yet. I also have a strict "no dolphins" policy in all my lyrics...

I think of myself as an Integral Artist which means that I am living and working out of an awareness that encompasses all aspects of my being - physical, emotional, spiritual, shadow, my inner and outer life and as a person of my local, national and global communities.

During the recording process of my most recent album "Play My Heart", I remember standing in my kitchen late one evening, listening to a Leonard Cohen song, and after it had ended, I felt better, ..home.., healed. And I thought ..that's what I want my songs to do, too...

"BUT WHAT DOES SHE MEAN; "INTEGRAL SINGER-SONGWRITER"??? - Check out the Integral Institute at www.integralnaked.org and they'll explain everything. Seriously - pretty much EVERYTHING..."
