The following are samples of the many reviews we've received from fans all
over the world.
First class songwriting, timeless voice.
Reviewer: Laurie *Larson
The Road Leads Home twists and turns through powerful ballads, straight
ahead rock and southern soul, all driven by solid songwriting and that
unmistakable voice. Each song can stand alone, yet you are compelled to
listen all the way through in a seamless journey. Most remakes of number one
hits are nothing to write home about, but John Townsend remakes "Smoke From
a Distant Fire" with vocals that remain true to the original and at the same
time, transcend the original. Think there's no quality music out there?
Think again, John Townsend's "The Road Leads Home" will restore your faith
in new music; every track has impeccable production and fantastic vocals.
*EXCELLENT!
Reviewer: Brett Young
Being a North Alabama native myself, the fact that John Townsend has
recorded in Muscle Shoals instantly peaked my interest. I got the CD and
have enjoyed every minute of it. Get it and you'll see why!
*This cd was worth the years of waiting!
Reviewer: Peter C. Ward
John, I waited years to get any information on what happened to you after
The Sanford Townsend Band disappeared from the scene. Not only was I
overjoyed to hear you had released a new recording, I was thrilled to have
met you in Atlanta. This recording is wonderful! I look forward to hearing
you perform in person again.
*WOW! John why have you made us wait soooo! long The best EVER!! ROLL TIDE
Reviewer: Barney Duncan
The CD was just wonderful a great blend of my very favorite music WOW!!!
what a wonderful job Thanks JOHN
*Great to be back..............
Reviewer: Jeff Hendricksen
Long overdue, one of the great singer/songwriters of my generation. I
disagree on the "if you like Robert Palmer and Don Henley" quote you have to
sell it. If it sounds like anything I would say its Little Feat and Delbert
McClinton. However, I hate comparisons, SO this is a strong, unique and very
welcomed CD from John Townsend. Congratulations !!
