Subject: RE: Obit: John Wright (UK, Feb 2008)
Few singers can make a song their own without a brimful of passion - John Wright came into the folk relatively late without the preconceptions of what a "folksy style " might sound like. To those who found his unique singing style at odds with a more traditional "singer with guitar" performance, one needed to take a step back and listen -- I felt he gave every song the breath of his sincerity and passion. Another great loss from a gentle man of music.
Perhaps those who doubted his delivery and materisl might now buy an album or two.------------ Sounds like the audience at the Clarence in Blackpool had a real good night.
