If you’ve been following us here you might know that we’ve taken the opportunity to re-air our Barlow Family specials from 2020-21. Our homespun half-hour variety shows made for Christmas ‘20 then, Valentine’s, St. Patrick’s, and Easter ‘21. Adelle did the costume design, we selected seasonally appropriate songs for me to record, then sat down in my studio and captured a conversation. We had no aspirations to do a podcast at that point, it was just something fun to focus on while clinging to our sanity.
This was the last one we did. The world beyond our sidewalk had begun to open up. My LP Reason To Live was about to be released and I was starting to tour again. It would be awhile before we connected the dots and realized we were destined to channel the spirit of these specials into RAW Impressions. It’s embarrassing to admit but I hoped the holiday shows would be a -little- more popular than they were. Nothing too crazy, perhaps enough to result in a Barlow Family Netflix series and a lucrative record deal. But, we did get some sweet responses and it set us on the path we are walking now.
When we finished this springtime spectacular, we sealed the crazy sweaters, the wreath, and bunny suit in a plastic container and stuck it in the attic. I knew it was the end of an era. A weirdly wonderful, terrible time.
