Biography

Something lies just beyond, and John Kilzer is trying to reach it, to take us there—with him. A better America, a level playing field, neighbors cooperating, strangers respecting one another. That hope is suffused in the attitude of every song here. It’s what makes these songs timeless—that and the soulful, soul-filled sounds. Kilzer captures a tone that has seen too much and is yet optimistic. He knows that the weariness of trying to improve the world can make a young face weathered, but also that the struggle itself never grows old, keeping the soul vital. Kilzer’s songs are as fresh as any in his storied career, his confidence never greater. Hearing SCARS is like finding your old favorite jacket just as winter arrives. It slips on you and you never want to take it off. Robert Gordon/Author (It Came From Memphis, Respect Yourself: Stax Records and the Soul Explosion)
