| Along with Bob Dylan's emergence came
countless other folk-based "protest singers" in the early to mid-'60s,
including Barry McGuire. Born in Oklahoma City during 1937, McGuire had
relocated to New York City and joined up with folk revivalists the New
Christy Minstrels by the early '60s. He was anointed the band's lead singer
and appeared on several albums and their first hit single, "Green, Green" (which
was co-penned by McGuire). Soon after, however, McGuire caught the attention
of both record producer Lou Adler and singer/songwriter P.F. Sloan,
resulting in the guitarist/singer leaving the New Christy Minstrels and
launching a solo career, signing on with Adler's Dunhill Records. McGuire's
solo debut, The Barry McGuire Album, was released in 1963, but it wasn't
until two years later that McGuire scored a massive hit with the
Sloan-penned track "Eve of Destruction," which topped the U.S. charts (peaking
at number three in the U.K.) and was taken from his sophomore full-length,
Barry McGuire Featuring Eve of Destruction. McGuire became good friends with
another Adler-guided outfit, the Mamas & the Papas (who mentioned him in
some of their song lyrics), while further solo albums were issued, including
This Precious Time and The World's Last Private Citizen, but none spawned
any singles as successful as "Eve." By the early '70s, McGuire had turned
his back on folk music and he re-appeared as a Christian/gospel artist,
signing on with the Myrrh label and issuing such standout albums as 1973's
Seeds, 1975's Lighten Up, and a live recording, 1982's To the Bride, among
countless others. McGuire put his music career on hold and moved to New
Zealand in the mid-'80s with his wife, where they remained until 1990,
working with the poverty organization World Vision. Upon his return, McGuire
began issuing albums once more, including such titles as El Dorado, Let's
Tend God's Earth, Adventures on Son Mountain, and Journey to Bible Times,
before teaming up with another gospel singer/guitarist, Terry Talbot, to
form an outfit called Talbot McGuire. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide |
