After a (weeks) worth of listening...

@reubent thanks for the heads up, with a title like timeless I can imagine where he goes. It's on the list. The one that hooked me onto John was called The Plot. His guitar playing on it is so unique in my experience. It swings, but it's free, ethereal and still in the pocket, not your standard rock noodle or typical jazz guitar solo kinda stuff 

I can can't say that I agree with the bumper sticker, progressive sloganeering within some of Rosie Bones' lyrics but I like her delivery and feeling. It's not that I lean right, I don't. But she doesn't, one time, mention any of the corrupt left leaning politicians or news organizations and, man, there are just as many on the left to blame, as on the right. I find her political perspective more political cheer leading than objectivity.

Regardless, I'm liking the album. That says a lot, imo.

I wasn't siding with the political bend of "Loud Hailer". Just saying' it was a political record in a political year. That alone should have gotten it grammy attention. Then add the excellent guitar work, raw singing and interesting production, and it should have gotten more recognition. I really like the record. Thanks for the nomination......

Happy Listening!

I didn't take it that way but you are right!  You would have thought the academy would have jumped on it.

Error, excuse me, I mean, music industry.
