The John Wright Band - The Things Weve Handed Down

Review by Eric Chancey

The John Wright Band's album, The Things We've Handed Down, is a beautiful and poignant collection of songs that explore the complexities of life, love, and family. The album is a tribute to the things that are passed down from generation to generation, and the ways in which we are shaped by our past and our relationships.

The album's opening track, "The Things We've Handed Down," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its gentle acoustic guitar and heartfelt lyrics. The song is a meditation on the things that we pass down to our children, both good and bad, and the responsibility that comes with being a parent.

Other standout tracks on the album include "The River," a haunting ballad about loss and grief, and "The Road," a rollicking country-rock tune that celebrates the joys of the open road. Throughout the album, John Wright's soulful vocals are perfectly complemented by the band's tight musicianship and rich harmonies.

It is a testament to the power of music to connect us to our past and to each other, and a reminder of the enduring value of the things we pass down from generation to generation.
