Editorial Reviews

His biting, cynical songs and his excellent band-featuring members of Elvis Costello's Attractions-made John Wesley Harding a darling of alternative and college radio in the late '80s and early '90s. His first two LPs for Sire, from '89 and '91, are full of infectious melody and mockery: Scared of Guns; The Devil in Me; You're No Good; Fifty Split; Long Dead Gone , and 22 more!

3.0 out of 5 stars Quirky -- for people with a broad sense of humor, January 28, 2004

I saw John Wesley Harding play live in the early 1990s. He was quite entertaining. I also met him in person for an autograph session at Wax 'N Facts in the L5P area of Atlanta (he's better on stage). He has an ironic sense of humor in his lyrics, which are full of witty observations. His music will appeal to fans of the folk-acoustic sound, and he's a pretty good storyteller.

You get two discs full of thoughful, witty lyrics set to catchy, tuneful melodies that cover a pretty wide range of styles throughout the folk/pop/rock/singer-songwriter genre. Highly recommended for fans of Elvis Costello.

Two in one is always good and never better than with these two awesome cds from JWH. Two classics from his pop/rock era they both have (as always) fantastic songs with striking and accessible melodies as well as poetic lyrics.
