About this album
Compromise Kid is a thoughtful folk album from John Summers, marked by plainspoken writing and reflective, intimate storytelling. Issued in 1981, it sits firmly in the singer-songwriter tradition, where personal observation and gently turned phrases carry the songs’ weight. The title track and songs such as Warmer Days and Waiting In The Wings suggest a record concerned with compromise, memory and resilience rather than spectacle. As an early-1980s folk release, it reflects a period when confessional songwriting and acoustic detail remained central to the genre’s appeal, making the album a quietly engaging document of its time.
