In ten short years, John Vanderslice"s musical legacy already leaves listeners with seven critically-acclaimed and carefully crafted albums. JV"s meticulous consideration to color, warmth, and depth of sound (his all-analog recording studio, Tiny Telephone, contributing additionally as an instrument) as well as his sophisticated narrative lyrical content have secured his place in the canon of great American songwriters. As much as JV"s albums are for those who love great melodies and words into which to sink their teeth, they are also for audiophiles.
