Brilliant acoustic
by Riri RoI first came across John Herrmann at a random stop at a coffee shoppe in Montana featuring live acoustic music then heard heard him live at the Wyo Theatre in Sheridan, WY. Too bad only a dozen people showed up for the show (!) because they missed out on some of the most haunting, beautiful acoustic/folk music I've ever heard. John and his percussionist Clay Greene were the only two performers on the stage but they made it sound like an entire band was up there. Their flawless execution, the depth of the lyrics, and the beautiful melodies make this album one of my absolute favorites. His music is reminiscent of Nancy Griffith,Tracy Chapman, Indigo Girls, The Story, and Sheryl Crow. I wish he'd be "discovered" by more folks and wish he'd make another recording of his songs, but you won't be disappointed if you purchase "Elephant Country."
Engaging and Articulate
by TrideChickJohn Herrmann is an extraordinary lyricist with a voice. I loved Elephant Country - keen reference. Have heard he's as engaging live and will look forward to that opportunity.
Elephant Country
by Progressive AcousticWhile in Red Lodge last weekend, I came across a poster advertising "An acoustic Afternoon" at the Roman Theater. Being a fan of acoustic music, and needing to be entertained, I decided to check it out. Among the performers was local talent, John Herrmann. I'd honestly never heard of him prior, and am now ashamed to admit it. He was phenomenal and so was his show, combining great lyrics with witty jokes and smooth sounds he won the hearts of the audience. The historic Roman Theater provided the perfect setting for John and his sidekick of sorts, Clay Green, who accompanied John on percussion and guitar. The two put on a display of acoustic excellence as they went "unplugged," with only the microphone to amplify John's already powerful voice. The Red Lodge locals loved him and so did I.
After the concert, I picked up his latest CD titled Elephant Country. I haven't been able to leave it in one spot, yet. From my car, to my apartment, to my office it goes where I go. I think I need three. Never has a CD affected me, or should I say infected me, in such a powerful way. The sounds are plentiful, Clay accompanies John with instruments most people have never heard of, instruments from all over the world. Clay could communicate in any language, a message unique to only the words of John Herrmann. John's lyrics are from somewhere deep inside all of us. He speaks to your soul in poetic harmony. He wrote and arranged all of the songs on this album, as well.
His diction is unique, it's exaggerated, catchy, and keeps you listening. There's a quality to John's music that pop artists today can't emulate. A quality found in most classical music, there's something hidden, something that makes you want to hear it again, and again.
I haven't been able to find a favorite song. I listen to this CD from start to finish. The only downfall was there's only eight songs on the CD. I'm left yearning for more, more songs, each distinct from the rest, yet deeply connected.
If you want something far from mainstream, with something for only you, buy Elephant Country.
