Beautiful Empty

"The first thing you notice about Beautiful Empty is its spaciousness. The voices of Common and DeNicola blend together seamlessly. The lyrics are every bit as affecting as the instrumentation, and as varied." - Westword

"Beautiful Empty, with its lush and spare arrangements, demands a broad audience. It's one of the finest records out of Denver in years." - North Denver News

"Beautiful Empty showcases a songwriter of remarkable depth and maturity. It rewards you with soul, insight and some musical surprises." - Denver Post

Why Birds Fly

Why Birds Fly is a 13-song collection of scratched films and charred photos that chronicle how things come together and then fall apart. Call it the dark "disc two" from the Good To Be Born sessions. This record shows Common as an artist at ease with quiet acoustic numbers, wordless sound landscapes and fully-orchestrated rock stunners. Wrapped in radio static and shot out into space, Why Birds Fly is both a great question and a troubling answer.

The Longest Street In America (Rainville)

Rainville's 2nd CD is another impressive showcase for songwriter John Common, who's emerged as Colorado's most authentic heartland-style rocker. Rainville displays a growth and dexterity on The Longest Street in America, dipping even more into the disparate styles the band braved in the studio three years ago. -- Westword, Denver, CO
