Search - Ethan Johns :: If Not Now Then When?

The debut album from multi-award winning and Grammy-nominated producer/artiste Ethan Johns. Acclaimed British musician and producer Ethan Johns will release his debut album If Not Now Then When? on July 30th 2013 through his own Three Crows Records label here in the U.S. Released earlier this year in the UK off the back of an extensive record store tour and sold out headline run, to massive critical acclaim, Johns recorded the album in-between making records for others. If Not Now Then When? features a broad range of exemplary musicians that Johns has produced and performed with over the years, including the likes of Ryan Adams, Laura Marling, and Danny Thompson. When asked the inevitable, ''Who produced the album?'' Johns responds, ''I have to offer very deep appreciation to both Dominic Monks and Jeremy Stacey who certainly took over principal duties on that front, but otherwise it was down to whoever was in the room at the time!'' Letting go of control and placing faith in the players, many of whom have entrusted his ears with their own work at times, was central to the sessions and the creative spirit of the album. John's father, legendary producer Glyn Johns, mixed the record at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles. UK Press quotes: ''Gently majestic. Gutsy and evocative.'' - NME 8/10 ''Goes a long way to pinpointing just why Laura Marling, Ryan Adams, and Ray LaMontagne keep calling on his services as musician and producer.'' - MOJO
