The Embarrassing Young

by John Austin

supported by

mattmanatee This album has the touch of genius about it. John's debut is a masterpiece of art and this is little wonder seeing as it is produced by none other than the wonderful legend that was Mark Heard. Mark's gift of production and John's gift of being remarkably similar in his approach to lyric writing just like Mark, makes this album a must for all fans of Mark Heard. John sounds like he's his son or something wonderful like that! Favorite track: Back To The Garden.
