Your diversity is today's most delightful surprise!
Every track sounds familiar. Probably too familiar. The direction is alright, the question is only how far you're ready to go.
Thanks.

I love the singer's voice. Would that be you, John?

Sometimes you are too close to the mood and/or music of the others.

I find that a bit insulting. I have been writing this stuff for over ten years and never about about any of these bands. Never listened to a tom waits album untill 2 months ago after i wrote this latest album. This is all just me, so if there are others out there that I am now finding it is all coincidence. The implication that I am ripping others off is insulting and deserves a big fuck you. Nothing personal, but I would love to hear some of your music, i am sure it is way better!

It is indeed. I wrote & recorded this entire album myself, all instruments and vocals. I just put together my backing band to be able to play out live. Thank you for compliment. John McLaughlin.

Never had a slightest intention to insult you, John. I honestly believe it's just you and not ripping the others. Thinks like this happen, there's too much in the air and on air already, you know - but it's not the reason to give up.
Speaking of my humble self, I don't write or perform any kind of music. Just a consumer, nothing more.

I have never and would never give up. Never implied so. When it comes to good or great music, you can never have enough. So listen to my stuff if you like it, download pass it around, or Don't and just listen to the same old stuff. Talk to you later. John McLaughlin http://www.reverbnation.com:80/johnmclaughlin
