John has the ear of many of serious songwriters here in St. John\u2019s. He recently turned 60 and to celebrate he released a fantastic record. Unashamedly autobiographical, John’s stories translate into an album that pours over with loss, self-deprecating reflection and a longing for time at the far end of youth. Don\u2019t let this fool you, though. Hope hangs in the wings of each song, <\/p>\n

\u201cHey hey, wait up for me! Wait up, wait up for me!\u201d,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John sings. He sings as though his life depends on the transmission of these songs and in a way, it really does. This album is a quiet masterpiece; honest, aching and beautiful. Will it be remembered as one of the great Newfoundland albums? Maybe not. Should it? <\/p>\n

Absolutely.<\/p>\n
