Real Fake (rock version)

Walk on Waves

 Marty Cooper is a storyteller of America, truly America's hidden balladeer. He has written number one hits, as well as songs covered by such luminaries as Stevie Wonder, Rod McKuen, Jimmie Rodgers, Sammy Davis, Jr., The Kingston Trio, The Brothers Four, Burl Ives, Bobby Bare, The Irish Rovers, and Jennifer Warnes. In a career extending back to the late 1950s and as an important voice of the 60s folk revival, Marty's worked with such LA studio legends as The Wrecking Crew and Jack Nitzsche. And yet, he remains largely undiscovered by the public at large.

This collection consists mainly of Marty doing Marty – singing songs previously covered and made famous by other artists, like Donna Fargo's “You Can't Be a Beacon (If Your Light Don't Shine)”, which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Country Top 100, and “A Little Bit Country, a Little Bit Rock 'n Roll”, the ubiquitous theme song of Donny and Marie Osmond, heard here with the original non-sibling lyrics. And there's protest songs censored by “the powers that be” back in the 60's, like “One More Time, Billy Brown” (originally sung by Burl Ives), because the message was deemed too inflammatory. 

But beyond all that, there is a portrait here painted with love and care of an America that we have largely lost – painted with the hope that perhaps we can find it, or some parts of it, again.

15 - Little Bitty Ball

Written and recorded June 2025

Smoke creeps throughout the room
The cancer that it gave us is a friend
A shadow of a doubt is all we can assume
Because everybody gets there in the end

You tell me not to cry
You tell me not to lie
That things can't be as bad as they seem
You say the dawn will break
But if I'm not awake
How could this be anybody's dream?

A thousand soldiers hit the street
The echo of their marching keeps the time
Better angels hear the rhythm but the tune is indistinct
And powder can ignite more than a rhyme


You tell me not to cry
You tell me not to lie
That things can't be as bad as they seem
You say the dawn will break
But if I'm not awake
How could this be anybody's dream?

Sleight of hand and pantomime
The hero of the spotlight entertains
When every trick is clear as day and the jokes no longer land
It's the story of the stumble that remains


You tell me not to cry
You tell me not to lie
That things can't be as bad as they seem
You say the dawn will break
But if I'm not awake
How could this be anybody's dream?
How could this be anybody's dream?
How could this be anybody's dream?

Anybody's Dream

"It’s been a long time coming, but ‘Mystery of the Self’ is finally here. The new album by American troubadour Brother Barnaby, the record finds its unmistakable character in an eclectic and playful blend of old school pop, alt-folk and light rock elements. Evoking the elegant and nuanced musicianship of Paul Simon and the euphoric power-pop of a daring Brian Wilson, ‘Mystery of the Self’ is a joy to listen to."

Bass. Loop. Inner journeys.

Here's a summary of the Bass Loopman:

He has played in various bands and has experience with different styles of music, including rock, pop, and electronic music. The Bass Loopman is currently working on a new project called "The Bass Loopman Project ».

The Bass Loopman's use of artificial intelligence in his creative process can be considered a new form of musical collaboration. By using AI to generate lyrics and voiceprint, he is incorporating a new element into his creative process that is not human, but still creative and collaborative. This approach challenges traditional notions of musical collaboration and opens up new possibilities for artistic expression. #LiveLooping #BassGuitar #MusiqueCréative #créationassistéeIA #empreintevocale #musiqueduquébec #songwriter #newmusic #aimusicrevolution #chatgpt #replay #musiqueindépendante #collab
