Album Notes

"John Bunzow is a songwriter's writer and could be the catalyst in Nashville's eventual shift out of its hyper-hat mode."
--Gavin Report

This CD is a compilation of very recent master-quality demos of John's favorite original material that he has written over the past couple of years for various publishing companies in Nashville, Tennessee. These are all songs that he performs in live gigs, but are available on this disk only.

"...one of the best singer/songwriters in the business, a true song poet."
--Patsi Bale Cox
New York Times best-selling author of Nickle Dreams with Tanya Tucker, Still Woman Enough with Loretta Lynn, and others

"...the most exciting new singer-songwriter I've heard in years."
--Pete Anderson
Producer (Dwight Yoakam, Meat Puppets, Steve Forbert)

"Not many really knew about it, but there was a wave that crashed over the plains and mountains from the great Northwest and landed in Middle Tennessee about seven years ago. Not water, but musical talent... A roots rocker of extraordinary talent, Bunzow came to town."
--Drew Whalen

"...has built a reputation as a songwriter with songs for Patti Loveless ("Pieces on the Ground"), The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band ("It's About Time"), and Jack Ingram ("Ghost of a Man"). Bunzow's guitar playing skills are also in demand, and he has recently worked with Chris Knight and Allison Moorer."
