When John Howard's 1975 album Kid In A Big World was reissued to wide acclaim in 2003, it marked his return to writing and recording after twenty years of silence. Recorded over a twelve-month period, Across The Door Sill features many layered pianos and vocals. Whereas John Howard \u0026amp; The Night Mail (TR 317CD\/LP, 2015) was a \"band album\", Door Sill is very much a solo work. With five brand new songs investigating the process of dreams and how one can imagine crossing previously unseen thresholds; embarking on new adventures and challenges, through differing timelines, the album was inspired by 13th century poet Rumi's quatrains. One can hear the influence of John's own songwriter heroes - Laura Nyro and Roy Harper in particular - with it's long-form, languidly organic compositions and eschewal of the usual verse\/chorus\/middle-eight song structure. \"An album that will take a few listens, I think,\" says John.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Who Cares? \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Outward \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Preservation \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Pigs 'N' Pies \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Stretching Out\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Howard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32293990596679,"sku":"31721288","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3488466.jpg?v=1747407289","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/john-howard-across-the-door-sill","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
