"My Mississippi Roots," I'm going deep on that one," said bassist James "JB" Barnes as he discussed the recently released album of the same name. "I had to reach back to my family history on my father's side. My dad was from Port Gibson, Mississippi, was born in 1928 and he's not with us anymore but he is my lineage. The Barnes family name comes from that part of Mississippi, Claiborne County and that's where my dad is from; there's a lot of tradition down there in Mississippi; look at the blues musicians who came out of there (Mississippi). Muddy Waters, B.B. King, there is a lot of history down there, good, bad and ugly."

"I've been in show business for about 400 years, playing guitar since a teen in bands and toured a lot, pretty much all of my life. So, I've always taken photos on trips and it has gotten a little more serious on these past few tours over the years; it's like my diary in a way. It helps me remember what I've seen and there is always a story behind one of them, it's just my little snapshots of weird things I come across."
