Title: Big Daddy
Post by: dolly23 on August 30, 2012, 07:57:06 am
Listened to Big Daddy driving to work today---every time I listen to it I hear something else...
John's voice brings such emotion as he sings the title track.  It's amazing have listened to this album many times and each time walk away with a new appreciation for John and his talented band!   Need a NY show soon......!

I also agree with the Big Daddy album too. That one and Lonesome Jubilee are my two favorites. I also too agree with a NY show (Central NY) please keep that in mind for next tour John.

It is so funny, I remember being a teenager when Big Daddy came out.  I was not thrilled with the slower music and sad tone at the time (exactly how the media portrayed it).  It is truly a remarkable release.  It is so well written. 

My faves:
1. Let It All Hang Out
2. Sometimes A Great Notion
3. JM's ?
4. Void In My Heart
5. Big Daddy of Them All

What a great album, from start to finish. My favourite album cover, too.
