It digs deep at a man’s core and into his soul.

John Mark McMillan – The Medicine (2010)

Posted by Matthew On July - 2 - 201017 COMMENTS

http://i47.tinypic.com/23k6i4w.jpg

Artist: John Mark McMillan
Album: The Medicine
Release Date: July 6th, 2010
Style: Rock / Folk / Soul / Blues
Distribution: Provident-Integrity
Label: Integrity Music Records
Location: Charlotte, NC

About:

A grand, emotional, heart-on-sleeves, rock sound with aggressive guitars and aggressive vocals. But still precise, measured rock n’ roll, with just the right amount of whiskey soaked folk; Think Springsteen, Tweedy, or Yorn singing about the troubles and rewards of faith.


From the writer of “How He Loves,” acclaimed independent brings unique brand of “gutsy, poetic rock’ n’ roll” to Integrity Worship roster.
