John Inmon
Artist Review
I have followed John Inmon's musical career for many years and I must say that he truly is an artist. I've always been impressed with his uncanny ability to mesmerize an audience with the sounds of his guitar. His new solo project, Goodbye Easy Street, showcases his musical talent well beyond guitar playing. It exposes his creativity as a singer, songwriter, and musician. Goodbye Easy Street is a solid studio performance which deserves a spin by music lovers from all walks of life. It is a great piece of work from a great artist. Enjoy.

John Inmon
Artist Review
I watched for years as John Inmon played lead guitar for Jerry Jeff Walker, and always wondered if there was more talent lurking somewhere beneath the surface. Looks like there is... and plenty of it. In addition to John's inimitable riffs on the guitar, there is song-writing skill and a voice with entertaining variations. "Good Bye Easy Street" is a pleasure to listen to; a cd that sounds better every time you listen. Can't wait to see where this first solo venture takes John. Make sure you get to Track 5 as soon as possible; "San Pedro Town" is fantastic.

John Inmon
Artist Review
John Inmon is one of the heroes of Texas music. His distinctive guitar sound and flawless licks have graced the recordings and concerts of many of the brightest stars in the Lone Star State. After leaving his longtime gig with Jerry Jeff Walker's Gonzo Compadres he began work on an album of his own, "Goodbye Easy Street". It's a wonderful record of John's own songs as he hears them. Whether the title track is autobiographical or not it's still a strong take on being pushed from the nest. "The Railroad Man" and "Daddy's Money" paint unforgettable portraits of what must be real-life characters of John's acquaintance. But the big attraction is still a whole CD full of that perfect Inmon sound. Not only does he have wonderful technique and a huge range of styles that he is comfortable with, he passes the ultimate "so what" test: he actually has something musical to say. So put it in the CD player and close your eyes and listen. Or put it in the truck and go out driving. Wherever you choose to get familiar with "Goodby Easy Street" and John Inmon, he'll make it memorable. Thanx, Gary
