Safe Passage has had a splendid run flying around the airwaves and wifi signals the past month and John is readying himself for a massive tour in support of the new album. Here is what folks are saying about the collection of tunes:
"Melodic, ethereal...lush." - Billboard
"His greatest asset is his ability to surrender to the song. Gentle, contemplative compositions" - No Depression
"Safe Passage will carry you to straight to country/folk bliss." - Paste
"...woozily lush arrangements and classic pop turns...feels like a farewell to a longtime friend, with its nostalgic haze and warm, bittersweet bite" - Rolling Stone Country
Released on all platforms, but also cast in vinyl and compact disc, Safe Passage is available from John's merch table across the United States this autumn and winter. For those who can't make the shows, you can give John a swift follow on Spotify or your favorite streaming machines. Furthermore, high quality file formats of John's entire discography is available at his Bandcamp link.
