Wild Willy Barrett sounds like it could be the name of a Wild West gunslinger who lives off a diet of whiskey and stale cigars. The real Wild Willy Barrett is a folk musician who blends dry humor into his stage show and is known to serve as a backing musician for a number of notable groups including Sleeping Dogz and John Otway. Barrett got his start in the mid 70s and since then, the comedian/musician has been busy recording new material and touring in support.
