I've been a huge fan since hearing him on internet radio in a hotel room in Roanoke VA years ago (funny that I remember exactly where I was...but his voice'll do that to you). I've collected several of his CDs, from his days with the New Grass Revival to his stint as a soul singer to where he is today...a fascinating mix of bluegrass, jazz, blues, country and gospel.
And one of the most beautiful voices on the planet. As I finally got to witness last night in West Bend WI.
He's on a tour supporting his holiday season release "Comfort and Joy." If you're anywhere near Cleveland, Buffalo, Vienna VA, Petersborough NH, West Newton MA, Lexington MA, Piermont NY, Asheville NC or Aberdeen NC over the next two weeks...treat yourself. Tour schedule and samples of the new CD are on John's MySpace page.
Thanks for a wonderful evening, John. And please come back to Wisconsin soon.
