Barry Canning is regarded as one of Newfoundland\u2019s finest songwriters. He has a seemingly innate ability to write well-crafted lyrics and then elevate them with equally well-constructed melodies. “Light of a Setting Sun” is Barry\u2019s first record since his critically acclaimed release, “Last Man Standing” and was produced by another ex-pat musical heavyweight, Corey Tetford<\/strong>. The album is very well produced and performed beautifully. Melodic, catchy and fleshed out pop-rock, alt-country tunes are accentuated by the tasteful Hammond organ playing of Paul Kinsman <\/strong>and the sweet, shimmering and understated pedal steel of Chris Ledrew<\/strong>. Barry and Corey round out the acoustic and electric guitars and blend their tonally similar vocals together with great ease. It\u2019s been some time between records but “Light of a Setting Sun” is a formidable follow up to his last. This is an example of an exceptionally strong selection of thoughtful and memorable pop songs. It was also a nominee for the 2011 Music Newfoundland and Labrador Award for Best Pop\/Rock Recording. Barry is a true master. <\/p>\n
