“Jon Arthur Schmidt seems to be an artist who stands with his creative feet in many different worlds simultaneously, as evidenced by his latest album From The Marrow. It is an album that has a timeless feeling, and many of the songs found here would be as at home in the 60’s counter-culture or the seventies folk revival as they are in the 21st century.”
