Synopsis

Album Description

The debut album from singer/songwriter John McVey, a New Folk award winner at the Kerrville Folk Festival and the National Academy of Songwriters' Acoustic Artist of the Year. John blends his song-crafting skills with musical influences stemming from Shawn Colvin and Marc Cohn. John has worked with Emmy-winning composers Sam Cardon and Kurt Bestor and rock favorite Jonatha Brooke, who says "John McVey sings with true grit." The album, produced by Alain Mallet, includes a hidden track of Stevie Wonder's "Tell Me Something Good."

CD Reviews

Eloquent, melodic and expressive......

"I first heard John McVey at a party at a friends house, before I left I got over to myself and listened to the whole CD. His guitar playing is clean and powerful. His voice can cover all emotions from shame to elation without even straining and while there are countless souls in Nashville that can also do that, his writing in the songs on this album is what endeared the CD to me. The man writes just like he plays and sings, from his soul. Great album."

"OK, get a CD in the mail, new voice, Kerrville something or other, hmmmmm. Put it on the CD player. Push Play. Start dinner. What. Whoa. Sit down. Listen. Start the CD over. Listen again, harder. Whoa again. Who is this guy? Nice press kit. Read everything, start CD over several times. Man! Who is this guy? Sounds like Gorka, no Earle, not Kottke, sorta. Who IS THIS GUY? Well, he's Wonderful. Dinner abandoned. Listen to whole CD three times and try to find him on the web and see when he's playing near me!"

This guy is great

"I had the good luck to stumble into a John McVey performance at the Alta ski area in Utah last week. I'd never heard of him before. It was an amazing evening -- a small audience, snow falling outside, and John McVey sitting on a chair with an acoustic guitar. I've seen hundreds of concerts and few have ever moved me as much. Later I heard his album, Jigsaw, and was blown away all over again. The guy is a huge talent -- a rare combination of great voice, great melodies, and real intelligence. This album is a must-own!"
