Jim Kelly and Barry Leef interviewed on their album Who Is Who

Who Is Who - Jim Kelly & Barry Leef

Jim Kelly and Barry Leef recently collaborated on an original album called Who Is Who. These guys go way back to bands like Crossfire, Bakery, and Supermarket. They toured extensively together in the 1980s with Supermarket but this is their first recording together. I was lucky enough to be able to interview them both about this project and found them great storytellers.
