the lonesome jubilee
John is brilliant,I have all of his recent stuff which is right up there with Steve,Bob, and Bruce,but how about The Lonesome Jubilee from 23 years ago,this was pure roots and Americana before we new what these terms meant.Brilliant songs,fiddles ,accordians,lap and petal steels and sexy sounding back up girls.I remember my 16year old daughter at that time having to do a school essay around a current song.For the kids then it was all rap and she was struggling to make that genre work with something prolific.I pushed her towards the song “Down and out in paradise” which is a real story and she did well
