Walk into a room of Americana or singer/songwriter fans and say “John Moreland” and I guarantee you at least one person in the group will be ready to tell you why he’s the greatest living songwriter. Talk to a room of musicians, and you’ll likely hear “he’s a songwriter’s songwriter”. I’m in the latter camp, and I’ve heard a lot of others say the same. With some songs you hear a set of common words arranged in a way that changes what every word means, John Moreland does this like a wizard guarding the secrets that we all are trying to unlock.
