John McCormack

People always told me my songs should be in a movie or the next car ad driving through the Alps. After years of playing sax and piano in bars accross the US, I brought my horn, keys, synths and rhythm section to the workhouse and returned to my progressive rock roots in Rush and The Police and recorded Peace of Mind, combining elements of Jazz, Fusion, Progressive Rock, Spiritual and Avant.   

Peace Of Mind, self-released on January 7, 2006, is already a progressive rock smash. The album’s second track, the synth guitar-driven Without A Doubt, instantly climbed to Number One on the overall play-charts of the internet station Jamwave.com on January 21, 2006, having held down the Number One spot in the Rock genre for most of January 2006 and still there as of this writing, with four tracks in the Top Ten.   

Nothing is impossible.

Album Notes

Without A Doubt, a synth-guitar driven progressive rock track, was written with all of my love for my wife. This will rev your engines ....

Danger Damage Almost Over. A Progressive Rock synth driven track along the likes of Rush. Best listened to while driving very fast. 

Out of My Winter.  Soulful saxophone in a jazz/rock setting and ideal for a romantic evening. The song was inspired by what can happen if you forget your troubles and know that it's better to let go of things you can't change.

Booth Street (Forever You) is a serene avant song most ideally heard on a long winding drive. 

Go Ahead And Rain. Sax and synths combine with progressive rock rhtyhm section, representing an exuberance of life without care. If you're in love, nothing else matters, so Go Ahead And Rain! 

Peace of Mind, the track, is at the same time a dark and broody work with "peace" found in the joyful Spanish guitar.

I Know What You Know. This jazz fusion track was inspired by the notion of when you love someone but are too afraid to let it show, you can find peace knowing the other loves you back. The sax is raw with emotion and has been described as "vintage John" in the vein of Charlie Parker.  

It's Good To Be Home For Christmas. Sax, synths and progressive rock combine on this track. This ought to be in pictures.
