ABOUT
THE ALBUM
The mellow yet upbeat instrumentals on John Morgan's debut
album are as appropriate in the middle of rush hour as on
a Sunday afternoon country drive. The album centers around
an imaginary journey of mind and spirit. With titles like
"Castle Of Clouds", "House By The River",
"Diamonds In The Snow" and "Meeting At Endor",
the images already begin to flow freely...and you haven't
even heard the music yet! The unique cover art weaves together
impressions inspired by each of the song titles. Whether you're
a fingerstyle guitar afficianado or simply someone who takes
pleasure in gentle, melodic music, this one is worth hearing!

REVIEWS
"If you like acoustic
fingerstyle guitar, here's another great album for you.
John Morgan's new set of original compositions is loaded
with melodic hooks that invite easy listening. His instrumentals
are all brief in length, running between two and four minutes,
and they are all the sort of tunes that have a pop sensibility
that invites the listener to hum along to refrains that
seem already familiar. There are no synthesizer fills, nature
sounds or dazzling two-handed picking techniques. Just the
sound of one man with his guitar crafting pleasant melodies
that can fit into the work environment without distracting
or make great background music for time spent relaxing in
friendly conversation. If you spend time just listening,
you can appreciate the simple things he celebrates in music,
such as "Diamonds in the Snow" or "House
by the River" or "The Squirrel with Red Eyes."
New
Age Voice
"...possesses considerable
chops, and his pieces are [melodic], putting him at the
top of the pack of artists deserving greater exposure and
attention."
James Jensen
Fingerstyle
Guitar Magazine
"Fans of fingerstyle
guitar mastery as well as fans of New Age music's soothing
abilities will appreciate the work of John Morgan, who nicely
displays his personal blend of folk and classical stylings
on "The Journey."
