Behind the Barricades is the sixth comedy album released by Northern Irish comedian and actor James Young.

The album cover features a picture taken by Stanley Matchett. On the cover a Soldier with his back to the camera stands in a street off the Falls Road, Belfast in front of a barricade. Behind the barricade Young, in drag, leans across to the soldier. The back cover features a photograph taken from the reverse angle.

Young continues the trend of comic songs and serious monologues set by his previous album rather than the live sketches of his first four albums.
