John McGlone - All the Saints can’t Save us Now.
A new solo release from the legendary frontman of Western
Promise, John McGlone sees him continue to move towards a beautiful new
soulful sound.
“All the saints can’t save us now” sees John flexing his
vastly underrated vocal talents on a beautifully mellow track that evokes
memories (to this humble narrator) of the Style Councils Long Hot summer era.
There are still echoes of the angst and anger that we
have seen throughout his career as a songwriter (“So what happened to the loving.. and understanding we used to know..
and what happened to forgiveness.. lord where did it go. Because All I see is
lies greed and cruelty, Hatred and bigotry right now.. we go to, Got to, Stand
up for Equality, Shake the chains of slavery, Be the change you want to see
somehow”) but now we are seeing John move his talents to
a newer more mature and accomplished sounding, soulful platform, and its every
bit as effective and moving.
John is one of the regions most underrated singer /
songwriter talents and has been consistently delivering amazing music over the
last few decades and this solo effort is right up there with his best work.
Get this blasting on the drive to the beach, while the
sun is raging.
Western Promise have taken a sabbatical, Long may McGlone
reign in their absence!
