With sensitively chosen material and poetry as jumping off points, John's new recording takes you on a journey through all of the moods that he inhabits so well.
Whether juxtaposing Yeats’ grand poem “When You Are Old” against a watercolour backdrop or the gospel-informed “Not For Us” which recounts a desperate late-night phone call for meaning, John delivers a rich satisfying voice of a trusted friend and sensitive champion of the unappreciated in life.
The orchestral reverie of the "Somewhere in Me" delivers the bittersweet amber vision of treasuring departed parents and finding their presence in regular life. “Around the Corner” by poet Charles Hanson Towne, a meditation on friendship, reveals a John Prine-like delivery and “May You Be” written by producer Mark Lalama showcases an insightful prayer and a wish for the ones we love.
