Buckaroo Blues & Black Barry

* 1989 Cassette
* 2020 CD

***Buckaroo Blues & Black Barry*** (often referred to simply as ***Black Barry*** to avoid confusion with the studio album *Buckaroo Blues*) is a live album by The Residents, released on cassette on October 13th 1989 by Ralph Records.

## History

*Buckaroo Blues & Black Barry* features a live recording of the first two suites of The Residents' 1989 live show Cube-E, recorded in September 1989 at The Cowell Theatre in San Francisco.

Cube-E was developed between 1987 and 1989, and was intended to tell the origins of American music, from its beginnings in 19th-century cowboy poems and chants, to the African-American spiritual music that resulted in what was then known as modern pop.

The cassette was originally sold exclusively on the Cube-E European tour of 1989 through Ralph Records*,* although a later version was pressed and sold publicly.

It was one of the few Residents releases to be exclusive to the cassette format, until 2020, when a 2xCD re-issue was included in the pREServed *Cube-E Box*. The second disc would contain the previously unheard *Baby King* performance from the same date, as well as excerpts from a performance in Germany some weeks later, Mr. Skull's NYE Song, and an interview with Hardy Fox.
