Barbara may be the best-kept secret of the 60's.  While the other performers of
"The Great Folk Scare" were achieving fame in the folk dens of Greenwich Village NYC and Boston/Cambridge MASS, Barbara was on the west coast.  If you're a folk music fan, hear what you missed on her "Anthology..." album.   Blues fans have her duet album with Lightening Hopkins.   Barbara is also directly selling some other of her blues and jazz albums from her Official Web Site where you can also find info on upcoming concerts and appearances.
