MUSIC
Rattlesnakes marks John’s first full collection of original songs. Written almost entirely by him, the album reflects on life and death, love and loss, the uneasy times we live in, and a lifelong passion for motorcycles. The title and cover art—created by Emmy Award-winning animator and longtime friend Phil Cummings—depict rattlesnakes drawn toward the Divine feminine. Like the music itself, the image suggests awe, danger, beauty, and the careful steps required when approaching what matters most.
