frontinia I love this record. Such a great, intimate recording. And what a collection of songs. Like a treasure chest of dusty jewels, polished by John’s voice and all the great players until they shine a new.

Mark Bartlett A cracker of an album by Toronto’s John Borra. Paying homage to many of his musical friends, a set of cover versions. Brilliant!
