EP’ (2001) and ‘Grazin’ at the Margins.’ Each contain fan favorites i.e. “Age of Modern Man”, “Don’t Walk
Away”, “The Light”, and “Make Me Believe.” The Rome Observer described the music as “... a mixture of
bluegrass fronting a breath of chunky blues, love ballads and Americana folk tunes.” His vocals have been
thought of as “... swinging from Dr. John’s growl to (Roy) Orbison’s vocal caress...” And quoting from The Life
and Times of Oneida County, “... intriguing vocals... circumscribe the refined arrangements...his guitar creates
rich and resonant melodies...” John’s third full-length album, a completely solo effort in the ‘Springsteen
Nebraska’ style, entitled, ‘Hard Luck Highway’, which https://www.tradebit.com calls “...an up-close personal
style...featuring excellent folksy acoustic guitar...” A new album, His newest recording,“Captive Audio” is a return to a full band effor.
