{"product_id":"5038622136727-across-the-door-sill","title":"JOHN HOWARD | ACROSS THE DOOR SILL","description":"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.","brand":"Rhythmethod","offers":[{"title":"NZ Supplier - 4-10 Days","offer_id":53467431403820,"sku":"rm-5038622136727","price":22.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/5186\/5644\/files\/3488467.jpg?v=1785119676","url":"https:\/\/realgroovy.com\/products\/5038622136727-across-the-door-sill","provider":"Real Groovy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
