about

John Power is massively underrated in the story of Liverpool music. Cast were sound – the first band I ever got on the guessy’ for! – but it’s in his solo work that you’ll find his truth. He’s put a few albums out on his own over the years and I’ve always eagerly awaited them. ‘Small Farm’ was on the first one and I’ve loved it since I very first taped it, live and acoustic on some long-forgotten late-night ITV show. I hear it as a song of the earth, filled with roots, family, kids and friends. The melody hovers, rather than soars, and I’ve tried to keep that intimacy here. I’ve changed the key and finger-picked it a bit, trying to find that organic feel. But it’s in the singer’s delivery you’ll find the truth of this one… I hope I’ve come close to finding the heaven on the ground John sings of. Ta la.
