    The results are so convincing, the only question is what took him so long. [Mar 2013, p.73]

    Johns’ 10-track debut solo album is a placid but gutsy amble that pitches him as Bill Callahan dealing with a lazy hangover the morning after a pub crawl with Guy Garvey.

    If Not Now... goes a long way to pinpointing just why Marling, Ryan Adams and Ray LaMontagne, among others, keep calling on his services as both musician and producer. [Mar 2013, p.96]

    Rather too many hats, perhaps, but still an impressive showcase. [Mar 2013, p.105]

    This is an impressive first effort for the multi-talented Johns who is clearly determined to avoid spending his life in the shadows of others.
