Joe Barry (born Joseph Barrios; July 13, 1939 – August 31, 2004) was an American swamp pop singer active on the early rock and roll scene.
[1] "I'm a Fool to Care" sold over one million copies by 1968, earning a gold record designation.
[4] Barry released several more singles on Smash and Nugget Records later in the 1960s, but left the music industry soon after.
Health problems prevented him from continuing a career in music later in his life until 2003, when he released an album which took several years of overdubbing to complete due to his physical limitations.
[4] The album Been Down that Muddy Road was produced by Aaron Fuchs of Night Train International in New York City, along with Pershing Wells and Michael Vice of Houma, Louisiana.
