Here's the latest - it's a joint single with Glenn Williams from Hull in the UK. While Glenn and I have never actually met, we have exchanged many emails and phone conversations which have led to the release of this record. The idea behind it is that Glenn sings on Brian's song and Brian sings on Glenn's. We're both very proud of the results and it seems to be getting it's share of airplay internationally. Number 5 most requested song on Polish national radio and more to come! DJ's - keep playing this song and you never know - perhaps we'll get enough steam up for Glenn and I to tour your town. Poland at least! Have a listen at Glenn's Myspace page here.
"American
Radio"I was recently writing and recording some songs to pitch to other artists and this was among them. I happened to play a bit of it over the phone to my friend Glenn Williams in Hull, UK. Now Glenn has an ear, and has been consistently getting his own music played on radio worldwide. Within seconds of hearing "American Radio", he insisted that it was a 'hit' and that I must send it to him immediately so that he can get it to radio. Surprised but pleased I sent him the finished recording and currently 80 plus radio stations worldwide have either requested the CD or are playing it. Folks, it appears to be going berserk! If you'd like to hear it, I've put it on a myspace page - www.myspace.com/bbamericanradio Check it out and as Glenn says, "you won't stop singing this song"...

" To aficionados of Country Music, the new release by Brian Baker,
AMERICAN RADIO,
hits all the right chords both literally and metaphorically. The chorus
drags you in and within seconds this number
is firmly ensconced within your mind
and you'll be singing along to it on second hearing, an amazing feat.
Brian's previous work (such as 'Prague
Radio' and his Acoustic Releases) are very
different to this latest release but are, in their own way,
complimentary to American Radio. The
lyrics are all very personal but allow an insight into
both Brian's psych as well as your own. Brian is a true Aussie Treasure
and deserves to be up there with the best
and even above them."

Thanks to everyone for the support, airplay and goodwill. Cheers bb.

Here's what people are saying about Brian's music and his CD "Prague Radio":
Brian
Baker is not a superstar but he is one of the best musicians and
songwriters I have heard in many years and I believe that this will lead him on
to greater things. So if you have not already bought a copy of Brian's
"Prague Radio" cd then I suggest that you do so because this is a cd
that will fill that gap that is missing from your music collection. - Glenn
Williams, www.lazyswede.co.uk
The warm acoustic guitar washes over every note and Baker`s Finn-esque croon takes you down on your knees to prepare to be lifted back up to the warm sun breaking down on your pop-starved soul. Embrace tuning into "Prague Radio" and be rewarded with a bit of timeless acoustic-driven pop. Very Highly Recommended! - www.notlame.com
From the sound of him, Brian Baker has to be a Neil Finn fan, so hopefully he will not soon tire of the inevitable comparisons. Baker writes gorgeous nuanced melodic pop, complemented by layered harmonies. And each song contains a bonus: Baker is a master of the art of writing a terrific bridge as well. You will not be disappointed.-
