Bassist and one of the original members of The Sir
Douglas Quintet, who briefly lit up the charts with "She's
About A Mover". He would continue to collaborate with fellow Quintet members
Augie
Meyers and Doug
Sahm
for many years, on albums such as Meyers' Blame It On Love and White
Boy, Doug Sahm and Band, and Doug Sahm And The Last Real Texas Blues Band, which was nominated
for a Grammy. Other Barber-Meyers-Sahm projects
included The
Texas Tornados
, of which Barber
was one of the original members, appearing on the Grammy-nominated 4 Aces, and their 1976 release, Texas Rock For Country Rollers. He has
performed with a litany of country and rock acts, including Bob
Dylan
(on Doug Sahm and Band), Los Lobos, Delbert McClinton, Roger
Miller, Willie Nelson (on 1973's Shotgun
Willie), The Righteous Brothers, Boz
Scaggs , Billy Swan, Stevie Ray
Vaughn, and Jerry Jeff Walker. In
2003, he was a member of The West Side Horns, performing bass on their
album, San Quilmas. Recently, he has been active in the
Texas club scene, performing with such bands as Little Johnny's
Double Nickle Birthday Bash All Star Band, on 10th September
2004, The S.A. Blues Cats, in a 2005 concert to benefit Hurricane Katrina
victims, and The Texas Southside Kings, at their CD release party on 19th
October 2006. He even got his
own chance in the limelight, performing with Jack Barber & Friends at
Santa's Place in 2007. He
is still in demand as a session player, appearing on Glenn Allan and Kim
Mackenzie's Paradise, Texas. At the time of this writing, plans
were in the works for him to play bass on a blues album with Nataly
Pena. A couple of websites have
mentioned that Jack Barber really is a barber. If he is, chances are he doesn't
have much time for cutting hair.
