Title: John Illsley's new album
Post by: Hophead on November 26, 2013, 12:39:52 AM
John Illsley's new album entitled "Testing the Water" will be released sometime early in the new year..I'm guessing January or February. Nothing like the anticipation of new music  ;D

Name reminds me of swimming in our school pool, to which the answer was always somewhere between cold and sub-zero! ;D

I asked John about the new album by emailing him through the 'contact' link on his site.
This was my original message:
"John I absolutely loved "Streets of Heaven" and I'm curious as to when..if possible..you might be releasing a new album. I realized that you and Guy had worked on some songs at BG and wondered if we might see the finished album soon. Thanks! Marty"

This was John's response:

"Hi Marty new cd will be out in the new year "Testing the water" hope you enjoy it
kind regards
John"
Sorry if this seemed confusing..I just thought I would help John get the word out.
