Released on 15 August 2011 this tribute album to John features some top name artists! The double Johnny Boy Would Love This CD is accompanied by a DVD. Whilst the artwork is dark and depressing in appearance fortunately the music could not be more different with some fantastic renditions of John songs. The DVD includes some interesting clips of interviews with contributing artists, a music video of a superb Cheryl Wilson performance of You Can Discover and some footage of John playing two songs. Unfortunately the majority of the DVD consists of the production team talking about John and the project which is a missed opportunity to add more interesting and entertaining footage. Still it is all about the music and that makes this release a worthwhile addition to your collection!

Some tremendous interpretations of many of John’s classic songs including Back To Stay recorded by Ultan Conlon, Small Hours by Robert Smith, You Can Discover by Cheryl Wilson and many many more! Paolo Nutini recorded One World, Bombay Bicycle Club Fairy Tale Lullaby and Beck Stormbringer. Skye Edwards (Morcheeba), Snow Patrol, Ted Barnes and Gavin Clark, Judie Tzuke… the list makes for fine reading and the songs are superb listening!!
