The work of his Greenwich Period, for which he is best known, was influenced by Impressionism and Tonalism, yet Twachtman's stylistic synthesis was unique. Often compared with Claude Monet and James McNeill Whistler, Twachtman developed an experimental technique and explored innovative compositional means to create subtle and poetic images that anticipated directions in twentieth-century abstract painting.

Snow circa John Henry Twachtman American, Finally comfortable with a successful lineup, Sabatin is really excited about the songwriting on this album. Although he admits to usually starting the writing process on his own, the overall sound of Sweet as Grain is credited to "four other great songwriters in the room.

Sweet as Grain represents a new confidence in the John Henry's. That indelible live sound is apparent in the recording, funded by playing to their faithful fan base in Ottawa.

With an energetic sound that carries over each of the 14 tracks, these songs are meant to be performed live in front of a throbbing audience. And "Lost in the Canyon" seals the deal. It is a standout track that sounds a little like Tom Petty with intense guitar and a bluesy, no-bullshit rhythm that does not quit.

We're also very into the roots scene. But you tell me what you hear. I really enjoy Sabatin's voice and admire how he can sound soothing and then immediately gritty. The band also has a very tight sound, managing to bypass the overproduced sound of some of today's top country artists.

Sweet as Grain is already enjoying some critical success, but the album has yet to be fully road-tested. The John Henry's hit the road after playing in Toronto and head to U. A tasty offering of alt. Ontario, Canada five-piece the John Henrys get to bring it all together in a refreshing and listener friendly fashion.

I say listener friendly due to the fact that not all alt. Bolstered by hints of Wilco, Sun Volt and the Jayhawks, coupled with a country-rock vibe of old Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Bros especially come to mind such is the liberal use of lap steel and heart-tugging vocals on some cuts. When captured at their best, the JH Band is a real joy. Though most are quite easy to take it's the keenly guitar driven "Golden Train", and with organ, piano and twangy guitar to the fore "Angel" that wings its way home in outstanding fashion.

MH - Maverick. The John Henrys have a sound that is un-definable. They draw from a potpourri of influences and styles that blend into something that is part alt-country, part Americana, part jam band and part rock n roll. Compared to likes of Neil Young, The Band and Tom Petty, The John Henrys have developed a reputation for tight musicianship, original arrangements and well crafted song writing. A characteristic of The John Henrys music is the topical songwriting, exploring themes from traditional story-telling, to pain and betrayal, and just moving through life.

The album closer — Patriot, is about a battle between American revolutionaries who called themselves the Patriot Hunters, and the 38th regiment of the British Infantry in beside a windmill - now a lighthouse - located in Prescott, Ontario. Dawson City — an earlier arrangement appeared on their first and now discontinued album, is about leaving the far Northern mining town after a soured relationship.

The John Henrys first hit the Canadian music scene with the release of their self-titled debut album released locally in their hometown of Ottawa in In support of the album, the band toured extensively in the US, hitting cities and towns across Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, and across the Midwest.

The John Henrys take their name from the John Henry of popular folklore, who has been immortalized in dozens of traditional folk songs.

As the story goes, John Henry was a giant who labored laying railway tracks and digging tunnels. He challenged the first steam powered drilling machine to a race to determine what was stronger — man or machine.

His superhuman effort won him the race, after which he immediately died of exhaustion.
