Barnlife is the debut album by The Mushtones, a two-CD musical exploration of life, love, loss, the self, and the infinite cosmos, spread out in a complex tableau of 27 songs which together tell the story of a year in a barn. Jesse Smith sang the songs that have words; he also played the guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, percussion, sitar and clarinet. One song also features Jon Rigby on the ashiko hand drum.

Barnlife Part One: Reflected in Water is a mood CD of mellower tunes, perfect for chilling out alone or with your lover.

Barnlife Part Two: Burned by Dragons is a more fiery CD and includes several of the rockin' funk songs that current band Operation J perform at their live shows.

Barnlife has been re-mixed and touched up until it shines with a professional audio gloss. Listening to it is a journey into the place where yesterday meets tomorrow. Order your copy today from Basementia.
