John Brannen - The Good Thief

Passionate, contemplative and steeped in chivalrous Southern charm, John Brannen makes his Sly Dog Records debut with "The Good Thief." His soulful voice and poetic songwriting have elicited comparison to Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Bob Seger, John Foggerty and Bob Dylan. From the opening strain of the Hammond B3 on "Witches Rain" to the raw grace of a single acoustic guitar on "The Lonely Side of Love," Brannen draws upon his own life of adventure and wanderlust to fully capture the romantic spirit of a latter day gypsy guitar player - road-worn, weary, and hopeful.
