“John is definitely a musical force to be reckoned with”

“The fun, very well spoken Intro gives an inkling to the tracks that follow :-) Very imaginative and nicely done! 21 Summers is full of energy and has some truly mind-blowing songs. “Thick As Blood” is a fantastic slow number, with fantastic lyrics and Schrader’s trademark gruff-smooth voice :-) :-) “Church Of Me” is a beautiful song, very meaningful and I loved the chorus a lot! “Lullaby”, with its foot-tapping and very very attractive groove begs for several listens :-) and rightly so! “No Hero” again got me thinking with its very catchy and great lyrics….loved this song! This song would have so many of us identifying with the words :-) “One More Thing” is a softer, more introspective song , “Not Satisfied” has Schrader singing that is exemplary …this song is another favorite of mine :-) “I Don’t Mind” has a devil-may-care feel to it…loved the melody of this. Lively groove and energy! This energetic and buoyant album is full of life!”
