Disclaimer, I call my consulting business, Through Your Hands. I tell everyone he writes lyrics for grown ups and then rocks out like a kid. Been a big fan for years. 9-10 shows around the country-my daughter has taken me twice so a couple generations in our house. We all got snowed in one night in Madison, WI at the Barrymore. John and the band played all of slow turning, bring the family, and stolen moments. Said no one could go anywhere so he might as well just keep playing. Over three hours of music and chat. His between tune sense of humor and wry observations are just as evident as in his songs. Had a shy 17 year old lead guitarist who really stood out. Might want to check out a couple cover compilations, Rollin' into Memphis and It'll Come to You. For some reason the violin work on Chris Smither 's version of real fine love sends me to the moon. Or check out C J Chenier's take on falling up. I can't sit still.
