John Reynolds is that rare artist who is both a chameleon and
utterly identifiab
He has been called brilliant and the enemy of clich. He is above
all, unique.
In long songs that have the feel of mini epic poems his heroes
and anti-heroes
are never judged, only described: Mean as murder and colder than
vengeancsad as a convict listenin to his sentence; wide as a field
of cut you bad cotton
pretty as heaven and burnin hell rottenHis love songs can be
straightforwa
with a devotional feel, but are often complicated, bordering on
the surreal, as i
this passage from Lucifers Delilah: Hair like golden rings of
fire, arms like Eden
snake unfurled. Eyes like diamonds in the dark, her heart a
brooding underworld
Johns performances have been described as complex, stirring,
visceral,
dangerous and an event. His work has been hailed by the
Associated Press,
USA Today, UPI, the Nashville Scene, Music Row Magazine, and The
Tennesse
among others.
Wildly prolific, his catalog ranges from major motion pictures
(We Were Soldie
and television (The WBs Wild Fire) to writing a musical with
Even Stevens, aBMI Songwriter of the Century. Along the way hes
earned a Musician Magazin
Best Unsigned Band nod, and has been a staff songwriter for
Bluewater Musi
and CDB Publishing.
His songs have been on Grammy award-winning albums in both
Norway and
Canada and he has had songs recorded by artists as diverse as
Delbert McClinto
Tammy Cochran, Jonell Mosser and Mark McGuinn.
His haunting White Moon recently caused an online frenzy when it
was used
as a promo for The CWs hit television show Gossip Girl. Fans of
the show hit th
internet searching for the artist who performed it. This
prompted John to includ
it on Resurrection Town, one of three albums being released by
HooRey! Record
as part of an ambitious 2012 Schedule that will include some
fifty of his songs.
John has played throughout the United States, in Canada and
Japan, and has
been a featured act at Tin Pan South, The NEA Extravaganza and
on Lightning
100 Radio. In his adopted hometown of Nashville, he has
performed at the
iconic Ryman Auditorium, The Bluebird, and the Grand Ole Opry as
well as
The Exit/In, Douglas Corner, 12th & Porter, The Cannery
Ballroom, The Listening
Room, 3rd & Lindsley, The Basement and The End.

He took his head out of the ovenand took a look around
-Resurrection Town
On John Reynolds newest release
Resurrection Town death and life are
intertwined with a wink and a nod. Love
is reveled in. Angels have tattoos. A death
row inmate ponders Passover. The river
speaks, two cemeteries take center stage,
and a suicide becomes the birthplace for
a resurrection. These gritty, meaty andprovocative songs start
from the middle
of the storm and tenuously claw their way
not out, but deeper towards the center,
until they reach the eyes false calm and
the hearts electrical pulse.

2/3
Sequestered in his magic attic, John Reynolds has created a
unique masterpiece,unshackled by labels. From the sweaty imagery of
Mississippi to Decoration Day,a celebration of his own demise, John
R. weaves a rich tapestry. Discover this.- Even Stevens, a BMI
Songwriter of the Century
A dynamic performer whose music will take you on a journey
reminiscent of a rollercoaster ride. Mervin Louque, owner, Douglas
Corner Cafe, Nashville TN
A stirring, haunting CD. The language of the lyrics impresses
one in variety,unpredictability, in the power of the images, in the
effectiveness of the rhymes. Stronstuff, but refined, complex and
sophisticated. Blows me away! Michael Glaser, Poet Laureate of
Maryland (2004-2009)
More Beautiful Today is one of the best September 11th
influenced songs. The Associated Press and USA Today
A dangerous combination of musical talent and literary
intelligence...visceral, and witan undeniable signature Rusty
Russell, Music RowMagazine
Johns music sneaks up on you, but once its in your head, it
stays. He can be classicand loves a melody but is never derivative
or clich. His performances are ferocious:he has no low gear its
full-on, for ten or ten thousand.
- Mark Mcguinn, writer, recording artist, writer (Lone Star and
Uncle Cracker)With Resurrection TownJohn Reynolds has added another
shining piece to his eclecbody of work. Whether creating under the
moniker Without Ruth, his music collectivealter-ego NuevoVeda, or
under his own name, the work is always dangerous, provocative-
Larry Knight, guitarist for James Taylor, Jimmy Buffet, Linda
Ronstadt
Driven home by John's deep, in-your-face vocals, these guys
(Without Ruth) areanother reason why Nashville has the best music
scene in the country. Barye Cassell, Nashville Music Guide
The record (Circus Girl) draws power from brain-bending
psychedelia and soul-stirring gospelThis is old-school Nashville
rock, ready to make the leap from clubs tohalls as soon as the
paperwork is prepared. Noel Murray, Nashville Scene
Nothing like it, the best and most original thing I've heard in
years. Bob Welch, Fleetwood Mac
These maniacal pop madmen deconstruct pop conventions, but never
at the sacrificof melody. A thinking persons shake-your-booty rock
band. Paul Killingsworth, Blink Magazine
John Reynolds is one of the more theatrical vocalists in
Nashville; his deep, supplevoice and the eclectic, reaching music
lend this cagey trio overtones of Brad Robertsand the Crash Test
Dummies. Craig Havighurst, The Tennessean, No Depression, NP
Unique, original. Dont miss a chance to see him. George
McCorkle, Marshall Tucker Ba
Theres a madman at the mic. John Reynolds sings as if possessed
and has written onof the best rock songs Stuck Inside to come out
this year. John Hood, Music Row Magazine
Without Ruth absolutely nails down the DISCovery Award. This act
is my current passioI dont know when Ive heard a pop/rock band in
this city with more star potential.I mean, these boys have it all,
a terrific lead guitarist, a charismatic lead vocalist, a
killrhythm section and John Reynolds songs have more hooks than a
tuna boat.- Robert K. Oermann Multi-award winning music critic
This song (Southern Sky) really caught the attention ofGossip
Girlfans; my postabout your song has been getting tons of hits.
