Elizabeth,

I agree completely that John Stewart's songs have a literary feel to them. The songs on the "California Bloodlines" album evoke powerful images of Steinbeck Country - Central California, San Joaquin Valley, Monterey Peninsula. I would not be surprised to learn Stewart is an admirer of Steinbeck. And John Stewart was born in California, in Pomona if memory serves me right. Truly an underappreciated songwriter. His talents merited greater recognition.
