TIMELINE
Timeline by John Emil is a stunning collection that spans over three decades of John's music, featuring both original songs and production tracks. The album includes live recordings from John's performances at venues ranging from intimate clubs to larger stages across the UK, showcasing his evolution as a composer and producer. Drawing deeply from the soulful traditions of Mississippi Delta blues, Timeline reflects John's unique ability to blend storytelling with intricate slide guitar techniques. His mastery of the Dobro and Hawaiian lap guitar adds a distinctive touch to the album, creating a perfect balance between vocals, instrumental pieces, and blues-infused melodies. All instruments on the album were played by John Emil, with the exception of the harmonica featured on Track 11, which was contributed by Craig of the King Biscuit Boys (UK).
