Drew Barrett's "The Strolling Minstrel" is a fantastic glimmering rock-pop opus... MusicMan/www.muzikman.com

Minstrel...is a rousing success...this is an album that deserves much wider attention. Heidi Drockelman/Indie-Music.com

An absolutely brilliant album with great background vocals from his sister. www.melodicrock.de

Overall, Drew Barrett has made an extremely promising debut...Turn this one up to 11, and be prepared both to laugh and cry. Mark Feldman/www.music-critic.com

The true highlight here is "Lovers," which is a duet with his sister Corinne. This song has the potential to be a number one single, it's that good. Awesome song! Paul Autry/BallbusterHardMusic.com

The Buzz should form quickly for Barrett if he continues to produce excellent material such as can be found today on The Strolling Minstrel. www.guitar9.com

Drew has a collection of really great songs mixed with even greater music that needs more exposure in today's overblown, clone filled music world. David Geffen and the other Big Boys better stand up and take notice of this guy.

This collection of well-written, melodic songs will appeal to people who enjoy AOR/hard rock... Drew's vocals are strong and melodic, and there are moments when he sounds like David Bowie, especially on "Visitors from Saturn's Moon." Stephanie Kushner/Detritus Magazine

Everything is fresh and creative to the point where you won't be able to say who exactly it is he sounds like. Drew Barrett: one artist to keep an eye on locally and internationally. Darren "Hollywood Paltrowitz/The LIE Magazine

Oh, this is really good sounding. For all you soft rock fans...get this one!
Magnus Florin/MoreThanMusic

I'd recommend this one to anyone who prays to The Guitar. A 50-minute effort that rocks on.
Ben Ohmart/Muse's Muse Music Reviews

"The Strolling Minstrel" is a refreshing, gutsy and meaningful work from a recording artist with a lot to say and the talent to say it with craft and conviction. Bravo! GoodTimes Magazine writer and Foundry frontman Doug Kwartler

Its not everyday that one gets the opportunity to hear something this good...This guy really deserves to be picked up by the big ones! Highly recommended! Thomas Persson/HotRocks

Barrett's ability to script tight, enjoyable songs, and invest them with both passion and catchiness is undeniable...Barrett crafts a solid platter of radio-friendly guitar rock that is a pleasure to just sit back and absorb.
