Solid Air

This is a tremendous album that tends not to be immediately accessible. But through repeated listens, the darker, muddier textures come out and are excellent aurally. John is a very good guitar player and kind of spooky singer. He is very deftly backed by the incomparable Danny Thompson on bass. There are a variety of other musicians as well. I am not going to post my absolute favorite track; I'll save that for later. Nor am I going to post the track Eric Clapton covered. I am going to post this trio in order; consider it "meat off the bone". Wait til you see all the places the second track goes.

Don't Want To Know

I'd Rather be the Devil

Go Down Easy
