"As a HUGE fan of John's, I was so excited when the new album came out! No one has the soul and conviction he can put into a song! I love "Sittin' on Top of the World," I'm sure Jimmy Martin would be shocked by John's funk version! :0 Also, "Someone Give Me A Stone," made me smile! The ballads are John's forte, you can never quite explain how great he is until someone hears him sing! Buy the album and definitely check out the band if they get near your town!"

How can he get any better!

"I have followed John Cowan from the New Grass Revival to his own band now. Just when you think his music can't get any better, it does. The new album Always Take Me Back just blew me away. The production on this album is incredible. It covers ground from new grass, bluegrass, rock , country, soul, gospel. I especially liked Someone Give Me a Stone, which has a Celtic, funk sound with a rock edge. All of the songs on this Cd are good. There are no bad cuts. I got a tear in my eye hearing My Fathers Field. That brought back memories. Everyone should hear John Cowan's music. Its great and getting better."

I wish you were here to see it.....

"Of the three solo efforts by John Cowan,this is fast becoming my favorite. I have had the pleasure of seeing John's band on multiple occasions and to watch it grow and evolve.
This current line up is hot.This album contains a great mix of emotiontionally charged tunes with a few "just plain fun" tracks.
Scott Vestal shines with his progressive approach to the Banjo and his Roland driven synth Banjo.
John Cowan is growing with leaps and bounds in the songwriting department.
But it is the *Voice* that is the star of this show.If you are unfamiliar with John Cowan you really should check him out and this album is a great starting point.
It is difficult to pidgeon hole the musical style into any one genre but here is a voice that demands wider recognition.Buy this record,you will not regret it.block"
