312 - Chris Barron - Spin Doctors, Losing His Voice, New Album Angels & One-Armed Jugglers

Chris Barron is the lead singer of the Spin Doctors, who after much perseverance, enjoyed massive success in the early Nineties with hits like “Two Princes” and “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” and the accompanying album, Pocket Full of Kryptonite, which went five times Platinum.  Barron took some time out from the band to start work on his second solo record. During the process, he dealt with a paralyzed vocal cord, and the fear that he might never sing again.  Thankfully, Barron’s voice returned, and with the help of a bevy of New York’s finest musicians, he’s put together an eleven track song cycle titled Angels and One-Armed Jugglers.Barron takes us through the stories behind several songs, including one about his neighbor who inspired the title of the album.  Plus, he talks about the massive success the Spin Doctors enjoyed, as well as the story of "Two Princes."
