John Flynn is one of the most powerful and important songwriters of
these times. This CD is
a magnificent collection of songs and performances! -Ron Olesko,
WFDU
"John Flynn is the John Lennon of the Plasma Generation!" --
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
(Jack may have been drunk when he said this...)
Flynn has been compared to Phil Ochs or his friend Kris Kristofferon,
but /America's
Waiting/ also has flashes of latter-day John Denver --another honest
storyteller with a
conscience and empathy for the common man. -- Chris Kocher, Dirty
Linen Magazine
With a poet's voice and a heart turned to justice, John Flynn's
voice and song
sing for us all! --Scott Sheldon, Sing Out! Magazine
“A philosopher with a guitar..." -acousticmusic.com
“John Flynn is a friend because he actually does the kinds of things
to help make the
world a little better that other people write, sing and play about.”
--Arlo Guthrie
"Lyrically charged, powerful and moving music!"
--Susan Hartman, Co-Editor, Dirty Linen Magazine
"As close as we come these days to a live Phil Ochs!" --Vic
Heyman, Sing Out! Magazine
“Simply put, John Flynn is a master of imagery, rhyme and emotion.”
--Songwriters Monthly
“John Flynn is at the near end of a long line of American poets,
thinkers and folk artists
stretching from Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt
Whitman, all
the way up to Kris Kristofferson.” --Ticket Magazine
“Someone with a very loud voice needs to climb a very tall building
and yell this artist’s
praises. It is criminal that most of the fans of the genre haven’t
heard of him on the same
level as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin and John Gorka!”
--Indiana Online
"This is an important album by an important artist."--Kris
Kristofferson
"Even more important than his impressive songwriting, or his
fine,strong voice, or the
fact that he's awfully cute and often very funny,remember first that
John Flynn is a man
of peace." -- Mary Armstrong,Philadelphia City Paper
"If Garth Brooks and Neil Diamond combined voices and wrote what
used to be called protest
songs and folk music, adding the story songs of Tom T.Hall, the
intensity of Bob Dylan,
Phil Ochs, or Kris Kristofferson, you might mistake their voices and
pens for
John Flynn’s." --Stacy Harris,Stacy's Music Row Report
