Press Reviews Internet Review Aug.25 ‘98 Bob Powers-The World’s Magazine Powerssound www.g21.net “Remember the name John Marian because this singer/songwriter has all the right stuff. His writing talents are immense, his voice is a pleasing echo of the early Bob Dylan and Marian’s new album, “Runnin’Down the Devil (Comstock JM003) is an auditory delight. The CD encapsulates elements of country, blues, folk and jazz into a package that’s winning and never less than pleasing. Marian who grew up around the islands in Georgia Strait, now works principally on Canada’s western coast and at folk festivals in British Columbia. His talents are major and he deserves a quick dip into major venues. His backup group on the album includes some of Canada’s leading musicians. Best of all is Marian’s songwriting, which is sincere, funny and most of all musical. “Runnin’ Down the Devil” should find a home with anyone who likes good music performed well”. Holger Peterson-Stony Plain Records “An excellent piece of writing, performance and production. An important release. Terry Jacks, film-maker and environmentalist “Nobody else is writing songs like this” Tom Harrison, Vancouver Province “An irreverant but engaging wordsmith. Takes aim at the loss of personal freedom, corporate greed and self-serving politicians “Boy is this different - but good!” Coastal Radio Shows England “Very interesting this guy !! Playing him across Spain” Nacional D’Espanya Radio Spain
