John Jenkins And That Sure Thing, Louisiana Is Calling / Sad and Lonely. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Putting on a double A side can be like finding an oasis filled with your tipple of choice whilst lost in the desert and noticing that the spa hotel next to it is handily free to use on the day you get there, coupons supplied. It is in the knowledge that the music is so strong, so concise, that the sheer act of division is impossible and that both tracks stand out fully and with disarming smiles attached to them. If it is good enough for The Beatles to achieve then surely any musician worth their salt must at least attempt to do the same.

John Jenkins And That Sure Thing, Honeymoon Hangover. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

To trust someone to carry out your vision is perhaps the biggest compliment anyone can pay to an artist. It is the acknowledgement that what you hear in your head, what you have written down, perhaps sweated and toiled over and lost many a night’s sleep through, is being created in the way that you know it should be carried out; it is a privilege many arguably don’t quite understand in the modern age as they try to impose their own agenda into the art.

John Jenkins And That Sure Thing, Intruder. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There are moments, polished, sincere but approachable and with the sly upturned grin of an aged valet who anticipates your every whim and desire; that you have to wonder whether fate, destiny or kismet knows exactly what you need at the exact right time. When listening to John Jenkins and That Sure Thing’s album, Intruders, it could be tempting to take a sneak peak out of the window and check to see if providence is keeping a wary eye on you.
