”Eilen näit surussani auringon, silloin tiesin suru viisaan ilo on.”
John McGregorin kaksi vuotta sitten julkaistu debyyttialbumi Joki nousi
arvostelumenestykseksi ja sai paljon huomiota osakseen. Levy osoitti, että Suomen
kaltaisessa heavy-maassa on sijaa herkkyydellekin. Mutta meistä kaikista löytyy se puoli:
kaipuu kauniisiin asioihin. Herkkyys, vilpittömyys ja läsnäolo hallitsevat myös Johnin
29.8.2007 julkaistua kakkoslevyä Maa ei oo pimee.
Albumi nojaa vahvasti akustisuuteen, mutta Maa ei oo pimee on sovituksellisesti
edeltäjäänsä rikkaampi, ja sillä kuullaan enemmän soittimia. Johnin brittiläiset sukujuuret
ovat vahvasti läsnä miehen musiikissa, mutta nyt kelttisävyjen ohella voi kuulla kaikuja
mm. Appalakeilta, banjon tuodessa tunnelmia Missisipiltä.
It's been a while since I listened. The songs sound as beautiful as ever. I wonder what they're about but maybe it's more magical and mysterious not to know.
