THE FEEDBACK FILE - STILL REVOLVING
Released 2008
This is the long awaited new album by John in collaboration with Tom Linneen and Nigel Penny Lanyi with all songs written by John and Tom. Stylistically it builds on the Under Your Door 'folk-rock/ambient/roots' template with string and brass arrangements augmenting the regular band of collaborators.

REVIEWS
Some discs grab you from the off, and some slowly grow ... By the time track six, All That Noise, starts to swing and lope with its tasteful piano you're pretty well hooked.
Review from independent music magazine Comes With a Smile
Songwesing ... actually resembles Nick Drake, and the subtle guitar solo that punctuates the middle of the track carries a tender blues-iness that really accentuates the mood of the lilting violin piece that winds the track down. It's a tough act to follow
