"Love Is Forgiving," failed to become hits at radio. John quickly left Lyric Street and in 2000 signed with Ark 21 records to release his new Christmas collection, "My Heart Is Bethlehem."
All The Way To There is John's Best CD yet. Produced By Mark Spiro, (Lila McCann) It contains eleven tracks that showcase John's incredible talent. This CD is sure to help garner John some new fans along with his loyal fan base. Of the 11 tracks, John co-wrote eight of them. John also recorded this CD with his band in his basement of his home in Georgia. "Settle For Everything" - With some great country instrumentation, this song is about his girlfriend who leaves him although he won't let her. Even as he tries to buy her everything she could want. "He Makes Me Want Her Again" is another great song with some fiddle and steel guitar. On this song John realizes how strong his ex is in her daily life. The "He" in this song is the son that they made before they split up. John realizes that the dream that he shared with her is comimg true through their son, only it is for her and not John. On "Everybody Knows" there is a slight Restless Heart sound to this song's instrumentation. This song is about a guy who realizes that the woman of his life brightened it up so much that everyone know it before he did. "How Much Do You Love Me" was written by Skip Ewing and Kent Blazy. On this touching ballad, and first single, John is singing about his daughter. You can really hear the power of John's voice here when he sings the chorus that contains the CD title, "how much do you love me, how much do you really care, I touched my heart, spread my arms and said, all the way to there." I hope this song does well with radio. With the song, "I Promise You" John is singing over background vocals in the chorus. The Lyrics are so poignant and true for most people, that this song should become one of those wedding songs that alot of people like to play. Would be a strong choice for a second single with "Everybody Knows." Song List:
