“Barrett” was the second and final solo studio album from Pink Floyd co-founding member Syd Barrett. It was only 2 years later that he quit music and devoted himself to painting & gardening. If you were to predict what would Syd do after this album however, I can bet that quitting would be among the last options judging by the sound of “Barrett”.

The final solo work of late Pink Floyd member syd Barrett covets the Madcap genius as he brings out different sets of altered singer songwriting with some very bright poetic Psychedelic Folk.
