{"product_id":"5038622136710","title":"John Howard: Across The Door Sill (Vinyl LP)","description":"LP version. When John Howard's 1975 album Kid In A Big World was reissued to wide acclaim in 2003, it marked his return to writing and recording after twenty years of silence. Recorded over a twelve-month period, Across The Door Sill features many layered pianos and vocals. Whereas John Howard \u0026amp; The Night Mail (TR 317CD\/LP, 2015) was a band album, Door Sill is very much a solo work. With five brand new songs investigating the process of dreams and how one can imagine crossing previously unseen thresholds; embarking on new adventures and challenges, through differing timelines, the album was inspired by 13th century poet Rumi's quatrains. One can hear the influence of John's own songwriter heroes - Laura Nyro and Roy Harper in particular - with it's long-form, languidly organic compositions and eschewal of the usual verse\/chorus\/middle-eight song structure. An album that will take a few listens, I think, says John.
