Almost three years after I lost it in a break-in, I finally got “Spider” John Koerner’s Running Jumping Standing Still again as a birthday present. I first read about it in one of Spider Robinson’s Callahan books and picked it up shortly thereafter; I’d never really encountered folk rock before and though I wasn’t too keen on it the first time I listened to it, the damn thing grew on me. It’s one of my favorite albums now.
So, anyone else ever heard this little gem? Or any of Spider John’s other works? What do you think of 'em? And what other albums of this type would you recommend?
