About this album

The Four Of Us presents John Sebastian in sharp solo form, balancing folk warmth, pop-rock ease and rootsy detail across a set of finely written songs. Issued in 1971, the album followed his break from The Lovin’ Spoonful and showed how naturally his melodic instinct translated to a more personal setting. Sebastian’s easygoing voice, harmonica and acoustic-guitar feel keep the record intimate, while the writing moves from playful blues and back-porch groove to gentle balladry. It is a strong example of early-1970s singer-songwriter craft from an artist who had already helped define the sound of American pop.
