This is what some of John's listeners have to say about Elephant Country...
"Musically and lyrically, John Herrmann is elusive. On his new CD, "Elephant Country," the singer, songwriter and guitarist creates music that is somehow dense and minimalist at the same time, and lyrics that pull back at the brink of saying too much. The CD is full of such delights, and half the fun is just trying to figure out exactly what you're hearing. Clay Green, percussionist, uses dozens of percussion instruments to establish a distinct sonic atmosphere for each song. His arsenal includes a variety of African drums, finger sticks, chimes, bells, rain sticks, shakers, triangles, traditional drums and a gong."
ED KEMMICK - Billings Gazette
"In some ways John Herrmann is the "Cat Stevens" of the 1990s, with more experience and a wider range of instrumental backup. He pulls from world-wide influences, but makes what he has learned his own. John Herrmann's music stays with you much like a favorite meal from childhood."
LIZ STRAUSS - Fan and Music Writer from Massachusetts
"Every once in a while, an artist comes along whose music stops you in your tracks, who makes you sit up and take notice, who creeps in the back door of your heart when you least expect it and makes and indelible impression. John Andre Herrmann is such an artist."
MARY NABER - festival organizer - Washington
"There's a quality to John's music that pop artists today can't emulate. A quality found in most classical music, there's something hidden, something that makes you want to hear it again, and again."
