Information/Write-up

"This is a fascinating bouquet of new songs to lull you in, running from some as simple as early Americana field-recordings, into more complex humour and wistful moods, "You Know It Won't Kill You To Die" and "The Happenstance Of Evening", fifteen songs easy-spaced across 46-minutes, seldom taken at a faster pace than a jigging run, as close and intimate as new conversations with a particularly lyrical friend, whisper-fine settings from dulcimer and pedal steel as well as subtle drums and guitar, with family inputs from Penny and son Pax (who also adds the Sasquatch cover-art). John is a hand-crafted troubadour, new and eternal - but beware the cautiously-signposted 'B'-word on "Shades Of Grey" and the colloquial 'F'-word on the play-out 'Wings Beyond Rio'."
