Praying For The Alien, released in February 2008.

Recorded in gradual stages between late 2006 and early 2008 it contains fourteen songs written by John that touch on a mixture of themes. From his travels in America and Europe, fatherhood and his experiences as a gigging musician. 'Bound Together' concerns the fragility of our unique planet, while 'Praying For The Alien' is a wry comment on the humanity that binds us not what sets us apart. Mario Price plays oustanding violin as ever and Ian Sainsbury's piano is once again stunning and subtle. Other fine musicians contribute to the very acoustic, slightly simplier sound than the previous album 'Common Ground'. There is also a Hungarian instrumental which has become a strong favourite of John and Mario's live performances.

Common Ground, released in 2005 is John’s fourth album and contains thirteen original songs plus two of his foot -stomping instrumentals. John plays many of the instruments himself but his regular musical partner Mario Price also features on violin as well as a select band of other musicians including Ian Sainsbury (piano) who co-wrote two of the songs. The album is full of the variety of musical styles (folk rock, eastern European, country) textures and tempos his audience have come to expect with sophisticated arrangements and great playing from the band.
