John's new album, Devil Rail available NOW!  

John Zipperer’s bio reads a lot like his new album. Tales of highways, rivers, and rails. From New England to the Deep South, to the edge of Hollywood, John has lived life to its fullest and he has shared his visions with us on “Devil Rail”, his brilliant new CD that has been ten years in the making. These songs have been road-tested and honed through years of countless live performances in front of wildly appreciative audiences, like the highly enthusiastic, sold-out crowd recently celebrating its release at Santa Monica’s legendary venue, McCabe’s Guitar Shop. Kicking off with the driving blues of its title track, “Devil Rail” could be viewed as essentially a definition of Americana music. Whether it’s the swinging gypsy jazz of “OoLa”, a soulful gospel hymn of “We Walk Together”, the bouncy reggae of “This Song”, the blistering bluegrass of “She Came”, the straight-ahead rock of “When The Muse Comes Out”, or even some Folk Rap in “Everybody Sing”, John Zipperer draws inspiration by ALL the great forms of truly American musical traditions. With John’s incredibly moving vocals front and center, his dazzling instrumental skills and his amazing all-star band backing him up, the term “tour de force” hardly seems adequate!John's new album, Devil Rail available NOW!
