Pictograph Records has re-released to the digital market Bahu Baru's original debut record, Blue Road. Bahu Baru made their entrance into the music scene during the Seattle "Nirvana-Grunge" craze of the 1990's and was one of the very first bands to release their album as an "Enhanced Multimedia CD" through the AIX record label and NFP Records. As such, the CD included two music videos, lyric sheets, graphics and band interviews. Blue Road met with outstanding reviews and was featured on television and in print in such venues as, CNN, NBC's Extra Entertainment, Entertainment Tonight, Mix Magazine, The Hard Report, FMQB, The Album Network, Music Connection, R&R and many others. The band was even featured in Billboard Magazine by their distributor, Navarre, when they played at the Fine Line Cafe in Minneapolis with Shelby Lynn. UmbrellaBack in Los Angeles the CD Cover was featured as a mural on the walls of the world famous Tower Records on Sunset Boulevard (see photograph). Bahu Baru received national radio airplay and was given full 30 minute spotlights on KLOS's Local Licks (95.5 FM) and KSCA's Local Spotlight (101.9). Baru was included on Seattle's "The Mountain" 103.7 FM yearly CD with Dean Carlson as one of the top picks alongside Ben Harper, Paula Cole and Todd Rundgren. Included in the band's touring they made many live in-store performances for the Sam Goody's Music Store chain and Borders Books and Music stores.
Following is the complete stellar review from the music industry magazine, the Hard Report:

This is by far one of the strongest debut records heard around these parts in quite some time. So let's pause for a moment of appreciation for the three men who are responsible for this work of art: vocalist/bassist Kenneth Francis, guitarist Josh Walters (aka Josh Drew) and Robin Leubner on drums -- Bahu Baru. Very musical, extremely insightful, witty lyrics and screaming vocals -- an unbeatable listen. Every tune on this record will tear up AAA. With incredible crossover potential, AOR and Alternative will soon be salivating over this delicious album. Exceptionally strong tunes include the lead off track, "How Long", the heavy hitter "Down" (this tune totally kicks ass!), and the first single release, "Around You/Beautiful Day". Don't blow it. This album is a powder keg! Light the fuse!
