For mid-2017, JOHN SLOMAN announced on January 5, 2017, the release of another solo album. The CD title “Taff Trail Troubadour” and the cover has already betrayed JOHN SLOMAN. The title track is also available on his homepage. Whom the predecessor has fallen, let him rejoice. JOHN SLOMAN’s fans from the blissful URIAHHEEP times, his first Solowerk or the “Dark Matter” disc will probably leave their fingers behind again because of the first hearing. Pity!
