Double Yolk Two classics from his pop/rock era they both have (as always) fantastic songs with striking and accessible melodies as well as poetic lyrics. Two in one is always good and never better than with these two awesome cds from JWH. Quirky -- for people with a broad sense of humor He was quite entertaining. I saw John Wesley Harding play live in the early 1990s. I also met him in person for an autograph session at Wax 'N Facts in the L5P area of Atlanta (he's better on stage). He has an ironic sense of humor in his lyrics, which are full of witty observations. His music will appeal to fans of the folk-acoustic sound, and he's a pretty good storyteller. Two great albums, now packaged together Highly recommended for fans of Elvis Costello. You get two discs full of thoughful, witty lyrics set to catchy, tuneful melodies that cover a pretty wide range of styles throughout the folk/pop/rock/singer-songwriter genre.
