Just bought this and had my first listen.
I will be honest, I wasn't expecting a lot. I thought it would be quite immature and lacking depth for such an early album.
How wrong can you be!
Wow. Reminds me why he's such a special artist.

Hello from Barnard Castle in England. A tiny little market town with one street and one castle

I've been listening to John since I was a kid, and just stuck with him. He's the ultimate male singer/songwriter. He somehow managed to speak to me in a small town about some of the issues in life we never think other people understand.

I've recently been picking up the missing albums from my collection, and just managed to get the Rural Route set.

Been a visitor here for a while and figured it was time to join.
